Actually, while determining a "good" name is important, it is less important than getting the user-agent behaviors behind the @duck_soup attribute we create. > > JAWS and NVDA seem determined to not want to introduce a new > user-interaction for @longdesc (which I think is fair enough, seeing > as it's an attribute that's only used for accessibility). Minor correction here: JAWS *has* introduced a new interaction for @longdesc. When JAWS encounters the @longdesc attribute in an <img>, it announces the @alt text and then states: "Press ALT plus Enter for Long Description" - and then pauses waiting for the user to tab (continue) or hit enter (explore).
