The ARIA features are actually included in the list in a comment right now, I'm waiting for the ARIA spec to be better defined before going further with that. I don't think <caption> makes sense in this context, since it is explicitly captioning the table and not the image, but it has been suggested that maybe appropriate table headers could be used, and I will be looking at that shortly. longdesc="" would definitely be added to this list if it were in the draft; its presence is another issue that I will deal with separately. Another idea was <fieldset> <legend>, which I will also be looking at. Cheers, -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
