One hopes that any discussion of D-links will be eliminated. longdesc is the correct mechanism for long description of <img>. Try someone's photo-album page with D-links sometime. It was never a good idea. We have way more important things to worry about. > * Wendy: Look at browser that has "accesskey mode" iCab displays accesskeys. I see that has not been much discussed on this list. iCab is not much of a browser due to its poor CSS support, but it has some nice interface features. <http://joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter08.html?GL#h3-4710> > * Ben: Test user agent support for alternative content for OBJECT > * Ben: Test UA support for OBJECT element <http://www.student.oulu.fi/~sairwas/html40support/object/> Cf.
