Working Group Decision on ISSUE-31 / ISSUE-80 verbiage: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0452.html Replace the the first two paragraphs of the img element definition with: An img element represents an image. The image given by the src attribute is the embedded content; the value of the alt attribute provides equivalent content for those who cannot process images or who have image loading disabled.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r6028. Check-in comment: apply wg decision (introductory text for <img>) http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6027&to=6028
