aloha, rich!

i couldn't agree with you more -- there are those who have expressed the 
wish of replacing complex illustrations with the contents of the 
LONGDESC in an IFrame, so that the user needn't navigate away from the 
main document, and the complex illustration can be perused (or ignored, 
user's choice, of course) via the IFrame...

i have some IFrame test pages from the days of UAAG 1.0's CR days:

NB: many assisstive technologies - JAWS being one of them - allows the 
user to choose to ignore IFrames on a page.  Charles, how does FireVox 
handle IFrame?
