And it is generally considered a bug in the spec if those requirements are not implementable for whatever reason.) What do you mean by "generally" here? Are there known exceptions or are you just being careful to allow that there could be exceptions? Whether a requirement is implementable is rather a different question from whether particular client software intends to implement it. Both iCab and Opera implement the expectation: "User agents are expected to allow users to access long text alternative resources indicated by the longdesc attribute on img." So the expectation would seem to be "implementable". -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
