Hi Chaals, Thank you very much for creating a specification [1] to define a longdesc attribute for HTML5.
Some references for you: * Use Cases: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld.html#uc * Constraints: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/constriants/ * Requirement and Solution Matrix http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld-solutions.html * Issue 30 Change Proposal: Include longdesc in HTML5 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc * Objection to the Proposal: Zero Edit/Obsolete longdesc http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Sep/att-0025/comments-mt.html I sent this comment to the [email protected] list as the Accessibility Task Force list only allows members to post to [email protected] . You may want consider changing the address in the spec to encourage public feedback. It is my sincere hope that the HTML5 leadership does not set up further process impediments delaying HTML ISSUE-30 [2] further. Best Regards, Laura [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2012Sep/att-0478/longdesc.html [2] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/30
