It is not clear how DIS 29500 can be used to create an image map. One possible method is to compose a set of separate images each with their own linked region and label/descriptive text. If this technique is used, how is a label/descriptive text applied to the composite set of images

Provide consistent instructions in how to create an image map. Provide the function of specifying Alternative text descriptions for all linked regions of an image map including the overall image map.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CA-0073 (Modified: 2008-01-03) DIS 29500 does not include functionality to support image maps. Because of this, there should be no accessibility concerns pertaining to an image map within DrawingML. Note that any individual image can have descriptive text, as defined in Part 4, §5.2.2.3, page 3,891, using the descr attribute. Similar Comments: US-0024
