Browsers, will not render it automatically. Were you going to modify the e-readers to render "more information" type renderings with the epub readers? This is the right question to be asking. aria-describedat is in the same position as longdesc - it would need to be implemented natively by the UA unless scripts could be used to process it; and there is already resistance from UA developers, so I think aria-describedat isn’t likely to proceed at this point. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
