RE: ACTION-228 - Produce a list of the bugs relating to the alt guidance changes [on Steve Faulkner - due 2014-02-06]

The Chairs are encouraging the HTML5 editors to close out all outstanding CR bugs by March 15.

As per our discussion today on the A11Y TF teleconference today could you give us an update on your work on the "Open" and "FIXED in HTML 5.1" bugs listed below?  In particular the Chairs are interested in knowing when all the work on the alt guidance changes will be completed in HTML 5.0?

If this is the entire list then we are very close to being able to finish the work on moving the content of the "alt techniques" WD [1] to HTML 5.

I have split this bug list into those bugs that are a) Open, b) FIXED in HTML 5.1 and c) FIXED in HTML 5.0.

Steve: Can you check the "Fixed in HTML 5.1" category to ensure that I have these items correct?  For this list I believe we need to decide which of these items need to be moved to HTML 5.0.
