I wonder when quite valid concerns of this sort will be unimaginable? How is it possible at this late date in the saga of "everyone connected" that "just for accessibility reasons" is even a consideration? The almost undeniable fact that this particular item being "likely not going to happen" reflects very badly on us all. Are we really saying something like "have mercy on the poor beleaguered developers for being imposed upon by being "required" to do something "just for accessibility"? "Oh, why must we *force* authors to do alt-text well, it's just for accessibility, isn't it? Perhaps if we can show some 'business case' for it, we can get it done." Love.
