The WG should not publish or endorse specifications that directly contradict another specification from the same WG. Instead, any reasonable portions of this document should ultimately be merged with the HTML specification and unreasonable portions should be dropped. --- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2011May/0051.html 48732 1 rubys 2011-05-24 12:12:35 +0000 My recommendation is to RESOLVE this as NEEDSINFO, and to encourage specific bugs to be opened. This bug could then be marked as "Depends on" that list of bugs. 49146 2 faulkner.steve 2011-06-03 10:59:44 +0000 The working group has not reached consensus on whether the HTML5 specification is the canonical source of requirements or advice in regards to the provision of text alternatives for images. As editor I intend to identify and note points of difference in normative requirements and informative advice between the alt spec and the HTML5 spec, people will then be free to file bugs against the differences. Differences are due to: * requirements in HTML5 not taking into account current browser, AT support realities * watering down of WCAG 2.0 requirements * lack of normative and/or informative advice in HTML5 for some use cases The requirement and advice deficiencies in the current HTML5 may result in authors providing inaccessible content. 53220 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:08:41 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
