http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10967 --- Comment #6 from Leif Halvard Silli <xn--mlform-iua@xn--mlform-iua.no> 2010-10-04 17:39:38 UTC --- (In reply to comment #5) > Seems to me this is just requesting longdesc by another name, same as bug 10455. I reject that interpretation. A more relevant context: ]] Surely we should have a) short alternative text for the audio/video b) a link to a transcript c) a link to a long description [[ See: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10642#c39 > Therefore, assigning to Paul to hold on behalf of the chairs for the > same reason as bug 10455. Unless you can describe to me an advantage of being assigned to Paul instead of Ian, then I reject that. Just because this bug could also solve the @longdesc issue, does not mean they are the same thing. For example, even if the outcome of ISSUE-41 could offer a solution to ISSUE-120, they are still different issues. Btw, I have also filed bug 10434 (rel=longdesc) - and that bug stands on its own feet, despite its clear link to @longdesc. Bug 10434 even predates bug 10455 - bug desite that, you did not link 10455 to 10434. For the record, I have not heard any support from Laura (reporter of bug 10455) for @desclink - it would be interesting to hear her opinion. From my perspective, solving this bug could also solve @longdesc issue as well. But I don't know if if anyone agrees. (You yourself is the best indication that I have that this bug *could* solve both issues.) But the opposite, getting @longdesc back for the IMG elment, would not be an acceptable solution to *this* bug. And neither would a globalized attribute with the name "longdesc" be either. (Well, in theory a globalized @longdesc could work, however, I have filed this bug in the belief that a new name would be better - including that I have concrete indication that the direction of *this* bug could have a higher chance for vendor support than simply reusing @longdesc. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
