<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Is 'alt' in or out, for validation? The
validator always used to complain if I didn't have one, then recently it stopped
doing (And I read reports that "I didn't need to use an alt tag any
more) and today it's complaining again!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All this chopping and changing drives me potty and
gives rise to two questions- 1) What is the current position regarding alt tags,
and 2) what's the best way to be informed whenever a change (to any part of
the whole html5 spec) is implemented?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Many thanks,</FONT></DIV>
