Fellow NISO STS list members,
May I consider content found in <alt-text> and <long-description> as informative and not normative? I see nothing in the documentation that states one way or the other.
My thought is that a PDF or paper rendering would (typically) hide this content from the reader. As a publisher of said content, do I have any obligation to render these elements visibly due to them possibly being normative?
I can't think of why they would be normative. Important, yes, but authoring STS I wouldn't expect something normative to be stated in these elements, so I can make some assumptions when rendering.
Thank you for your thoughts.
. . . . . Ken
