OK I have *no intention* of stirring the pot on this one, but I do need to know how much of your statement is Fact and how much is Opinion? I know that there are members of the HTML 5 WG that don't support inclusion of the alt attribute in the proposed specs - that's how this thread started- but if you're going to throught comments like that around, can you reference them for readers of the thread?

The HTML 5 WG actually has both MS and Opera staff working on it. Lachlan Hunt who commented on this thread earlier is on the HTML 5 WG and is going to work for opera in a month or so. ... -- Lisa Herrod Scenarioseven.com.au Scenariogirl.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
