Hi Janina, > I'm a bit confused. Your doc asks the WG to discuss, but your email came > to the TF. I would like task force input before it is submitted to the Working Group. > Is it your intent that the TF work to perfect this document? > If so, I would happily cede my action item on starting a draft and work > with you on improving your proposal. That would be great. > I think you've made a great start, but I believe several things need to > be addressed before submitting this proposal to the WG Chairs.

Primary Use Case Overview is informally written at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc#Primary_Use_Case_Overview Other informal Use Cases are at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc#Other_Use_Cases But the proper and formal, specific use cases are at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld.html#uc All of these are from an author's perspective. It would be good to have some formal use cases from blind users perspectives. The use case key for the formal use cases is at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/usecasekey.html How do you suggest the use cases be clarified? > I also don't see a clear rebuttal to the Chairs assertion that figure > and aria-describedby are available options, though there's allusion to > the latter. I added a section on aria-describedby at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc#aria-describedby_is_not_a_Functional_Replacement_for_longdesc Does that help? If you write a section for figure I will insert it into the Wiki page. Let me know what else can be improved. Thanks. Best Regards, Laura. -- Laura L. Carlson
