This relates to: 1. The Accessibility Coordination Group's "Consensus Resolutions on Text alternatives in HTML 5" http://www.w3.org/2009/06/Text-Alternatives-in-HTML5 The WAI CG doc specifies: <img> is only valid when at least one of the following is true: * @alt is present (empty or non-empty) OR * @aria-labelledby is present (non-empty only) OR * the <img> is located within a <figure> that has a non-empty <legend> OR * @role="presentation" 2. Bug 9214: Allow role="presentation" on img http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9214 3. The email request to the a11y task force: Add rationale or exclude role="presentation", aria-labelledby & aria-labelled attributes from alt change proposal? http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jun/0213.html 4. HTML Tracker ISSUE-31 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/31 Thanks. 38407 1 cooper 2010-09-02 13:42:57 +0000 Bug triage sub-team notes the task force has an interest in this but does not need to prioritize its work on these. Steve and the reporters can follow the usual process on these. 43071 2 faulkner.steve 2010-12-05 18:04:16 +0000 DITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
