If Silvia's ideas could increase vendors' acceptance of it, then we should be strongly consider to alter the text. Silvia, regarding your ideas, are they - in a way - to allow/suggest vendors to treat @longdesc like Richard suggests for aria-describedAT, in option his option 2? ]] 1. We apply changes such as Silvia is discussing below to longdesc itself which is something we have been targeting a new ARIA attribute for - aria-desccribeat ... OR, 2. We deprecate longdesc and create an aria-described at for ARIA 1.1 AND/OR modify aria-describedby to show a special indicator (of the user agent's definition) when it points to a IFrame in ARIA 1.1 with a lot of SHOULDs or MAYs for user agent manufacturers on how to expose the IFrame.
