--- Comment #2 from Charles McCathieNevile <chaals@yandex-team.ru> ---
There's no special reason why a presentational image cannot have a description.
While screenreader users might not look at it - and after all the point of
longdesc is that nobody is required to look at it, it is always optional,
although the description it points to *may* have been inserted directly into
the page content - it can be used by image management tools, search engines and
even sighted users.

Therefore there is no reason for the longdesc spec to say anything about this
either way.
