Well, it reintroduces longdesc, a feature which is almost universally 
misused and will therefore do basically nothing but cause users pain, 
something which has been repeatedly explained. That's the main problem 
with it. I didn't examine it any closer since that's pretty much a fatal 
problem with the text as it is.
