Could the relevant parts of both documents please be quoted? I haven't been able to find a contradiction. In particular, in WCAG 1, checkpoint 1.1 doesn't cover the cases where HTML5 allows (under strong cautions) for alt to be omitted, and he techniques document doesn't cover those cases either. So it isn't so much that HTML5 contradicts WCAG1, as far as I can tell -- it agrees with it, but covers more cases. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
