Hi all, currently the Resources on Alternative Text for Images<https://www.w3.org/WAI/alt/> page includes the following link: HTML5 - 4.7.1.1 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images<http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/embedded-content-0.html#alt> This originally linked to the W3C HTML5 specification alt advice(for which we had consensus on), but now redirects to the WHATWG alt advice (which does not represent consensus advice for use of alt) I suggest there are 2 possible changes: 1. the link is modified to link to https://www.w3.org/TR/html51/semantics-embedded-content.html#alt-text 2. the link is removed.
