Should the alt attribute be required for the img element in HTML5? Why or
why not? Gez Lemon is conducting a twitter survey/taking comments for a
W3C WAI position paper. He wants to be sure to consider all sides of the
debate and is interested in hearing opinions. If you are a twitter user
and would like to respond please use the hashtag #althtml5 .
