Fact is that that demo [1] is a variant of James's iframe technique. Improved, yes. But still a variant. I believe all users have access to the button that "turn the image". As such my only gripe with that demo is that the javascript should delete the @longdesc, so AT users don't get both @longdesc plus that button.
