W3C recently published the following proposed recommendation (the stage before W3C's final stage, Recommendation):
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-longdesc/ HTML5 Image Description Extension (longdesc) There's a call for review to W3C member companies (of which Mozilla is one) open until January 16. If there are comments you think Mozilla should send as part of the review, or if you think Mozilla should voice support or opposition to the specification, please say so in this thread. (I'd note, however, that there have been many previous opportunities to make comments, so it's somewhat bad form to bring up fundamental issues for the first time at this stage.) (I'm not happy about this spec; for a good description of why, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Aug/0028.html . I'm also under the impression that they're using Mozilla's "implementation" of it as support for the spec, which is rather galling considering that a big piece of what led to that implementation was an online harrassment campaign against a Mozilla UX designer to get the feature accepted. I'm not sure how much it's worth fighting it at this point, although probably a first step in that fight would be to remove our implementation.) -David -- 𝄞 L. David Baron http://dbaron.org/ 𝄂 𝄢 Mozilla https://www.mozilla.org/ 𝄂 Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offense. - Robert Frost, Mending Wall (1914)
