I've made suggestions for improvement of this change proposal before.
Also, as stated before, I have issues with the way in which the text
is formulated that should go into the spec, because I think it could
do a lot more than just a long description. I've stated my opinion in
the questionnaire that we had a few weeks ago and I still stand to
them. I believe if browsers were to include the longdesc link in a
context menu on images, it would be very valuable. However, I'm not
fully behind the wording of the change proposal.

Silvia.
