The following steps therefore only apply to img elements." This rule renders imagemaps associated with OBJECT inaccessible, or it forces authors to put a redundant copy of the links in the fallback content, increasing the probability of author error. It is not clear from the spec that there is a reason this rule needs to exist, while it prevents expansion of imagemap use cases via the more generic <object> element that loads content sometimes more suitable than an <img> can. Edit details: remove the sentence quoted above. 52912 1 mike 2011-08-04 05:05:20 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 54744 2 ian 2011-08-11 22:26:25 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Removing the sentence quoted would have no effect (it's not a normative sentence — it's just describing the results of other rules). However, this is a non-issue. It's trivial to use an image map with <object> and only give it once and make it accessible: just put the image map inside the <object>. 95224 3 mark.sadecki+w3c 2013-10-23 19:36:12 +0000 a11ytf RESOLUTION to close on 2013-10-17: http://www.w3.org/2013/10/17-html-a11y-minutes.html#item04
