New longdesc draft

Hi folks,

we have made a few updates to the editors' draft, and there is now a  
Friday 13th version (which will be the basis for a CfC on going to CR,  
coming shortly after this mail).

The specific version is  
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/ac507017569f/longdesc1/longdesc.html  
and of course the latest editor's version is always at  
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/default/longdesc1/longdesc.html

detailed changes are available from  
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/shortlog but the overview is

+ Improved markup used for informative sections for better screen reader  
support
+ Moved introductory text from "Use Cases" to "Introduction" and modified  
it to more clearly define the longdesc attribute.
+ Added more precise references to relevant sections of ATAG in the  
"Implementation" section.
+ Added text to clarify the use of longdesc in conjunction with other  
techniques.
+ Added the "Image Search" and "Describing images" use case.
+ Improved examples in the "Identifying a well known image" use case
+ Clarified the scope of normative text in the "Conformance" section.
+ Hyperlinked "Use Case" references to their definitions and rearranged  
definitions in alphabetical order.
+ Removed "title" attribute from example.
+ Added Mark Sadecki as an editor.
+ Various changes to improve readability and consistency.

These include responses to the various comments and bugs that were raised  
on the Last Call draft.

cheers

Chaals
