Another reason why ALTSRC should be regarded as an inappropriate name for the proposed attribute is that it might be regarded by some authors as a substitute for the ALT attribute. What I am here suggesting is that, at least in cases where the IMG element does not appear as the content of an anchor and a long description is deemed appropriate, it would be necessary to include both an ALT attribute and a link to the long description. Some people might therefore be confused by the need to include both ALT and ALTSRC. LONGDESC would be a better name.
