I didn't make any claims about how well it's supported. That was David [1], who seems to have made the claim as some sort of argument against my proposed longdesc study.

The question I'm trying to answer with the study I proposed only concerns the usability of the longdesc attribute in assistive technology that does support it. The fact that there are others that don't support it is irrelevant to this particular question (although the level of support is still relevant to the overall question of whether longdesc should be included in the spec) [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2008Sep/0157.html -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
