--- Comment #2 from Mark Sadecki <mark@w3.org> ---
Andrew,
Thanks for taking the time to consider longdesc in the context of specific WCAG
techniques, specifically the behavior of user agents when a longdesc refers to
a document fragment. The Task Force has intentionally refrained from requiring
any specific behavior in this respect from user agents. There is a requirement
in the document that authors SHOULD put descriptions in well-formed fragments
(which may include an entire page). Because there is existing, and will likely
continue to be new content that does not meet this requirement, we do not
propose a corresponding requirement on user agents.
