> Programmatically associate a control with a glossary term (brief description)
> in a different uri. For example, a developer creates a page called
> www.foo.gov/glossary.html and then ties a piece of text, say, 'glossary#1' to a
> control in www.foo.gov/pagexyz.html. This could be helpful in numerous
> situations:
> 1. Where the describedby text need not be visible on the same page.
> 2. When an image needs a description.
> 3. Link needs additional description.
> 4. Form control needs additional explanation.
In all these cases, if the description works as plain text, you can just hide
the referenced describing element using @hidden. You can reference an iframe if
you want to reuse the text elsewhere.
> 5. When a superscript needs to be associated.
What's wrong with an ordinary link here?
