I would say this is the responsibility of the implementors of iCab, not WebKit or VoiceOver. There is no native support of any kind for longdesc in WebKit or in VoiceOver. iCab authors have not reported any bugs indicating that they are blocked. And it is my belief that iCab can handle this detail by itself. Cheers, Maciej
