HTML 5 Alt Text and Authoring Tools
HTML 5 Alternative Text, and Authoring Tools discusses the deeper issues involved with the HTML 5 Working Group’s conversation about alternative text. I’ve never agreed it should be optional for authoring tools and totally agree with Gez. Particularly the section on research. What’s to research? Why should the uninterested tail be wagging the web standards horse?
I have an idea… why don’t we let Flickr worry about its own business model and ability to provide compliant software? Just a thought for the working group.
