*<Laura Carlson> Description changed to 'Raised on behalf of Laura Carlson & the WAI PF WG, 7 Feb 2008
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Feb/0103.html
The img element section allows instances where the <img> element may have no text alternative, not just a null alt attribute for eye candy, but no text alternative for content. The issue involves ensuring images have accessible alternatives and asks what should be done when a reasonable text equivalent is unknown/unavailable.
It is unclear what the net accessibility implications of this would be. It has also been suggested that the conformance requirements here should follow WCAG.
Issue is detailed at:
