Re: Process objections to FPWD

Hi Silvia,

>@longdesc attribute (some versions of IE mapping it to a description
rather than a link) and how AT deal and fix this situation.

AT that support @longdesc generally look for the attribute in the DOM and
provide interaction with it indpendently.I think AT simply ignore (or do
not announce) the acc description in the case of <img>, so it has no
detrimental effect.

The IE behaviour (I think) is a bug as it does nothing but add an URL to a
acc description which is meant to be for human readable text.
