Hi Al, Can the PF WG please advise and provide a formal response to the HTML WG on the current usage of normative statements in the HTML 5 draft in respect to the img element alt attribute content [1]. 1. Is it appropriate for the HTML spec to include normative statements [2] about what consititutes and appropriate alt text? 2. If normative statements are OK, then should these statements only echo the normative statements (in WCAG 1.0/WCAG 2.0) in respect to appropriate alt text's or can they include statements that contradict or go beyond what is stated in WCAG 1/2? The PF WG's attention to this issue would be much appreciated.
