HTML A11y bug triage weekly telecon

New bugs review

HH: One new bug - 21678

…currently an allowance for plain text to be added to longdesc attribute. Asking to remove that capability to prevent developers from being notified of a fault. Important for i18n

…added a note to track

LW: Wouldn't think to track this.

MC: confirm with the TF what the mandate is. TF hasn't been publishing specs themselves. Since this is a publication of the TF, we need to be clear it is in our mandate to keep track of these issues, perhaps they belong in Triage sub-team.

LW: agreed

…will take up with TF

…once we hear back from chairs, we can come back to this bug.

MC: find out if we should be tracking bugs in this category or not.

Resolved later bugs review

LW: Resolved later bugs, Hixie moved bug across spec to WHATWG. dropped chairs a line for feedback.
