And, now this group is to be the expert on what constitutes appropriate alternative text representations? This is not the proper WG for this document, niehter at the current time nor in the future as maintanance on it will be needed. --- http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2011May/0052.html 49147 1 faulkner.steve 2011-06-03 11:11:03 +0000 The argument that due to its content this document is being developed in the wrong working group must also be applied to the parts of the HTML5 specification that outline advice and requirements for the provision of text alternatives, as HTML5 contains similar requirements and advice. As long as the HTML5 specification contains such content, the right place for the alt spec is this working group. There is no obvious impediment to it's further development and maintenance by interested parties in the WAI just because it is being developed and maintained as a HTML working group product. 49167 2 rubys 2011-06-03 17:36:27 +0000 Janina, as this has been RESOLVED WORKSFORME, I encourage you to either: a) Mark this as TrackerIssue so that we can proceed to call for proposals. b) Voluntarily withdraw the corresponding Formal Objection. 53218 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:08:39 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
