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

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.

Open

a)      18450<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18450> Consider adding a screen capture example
