Dear all, please note that we fixed a bug [1] caused by a typo in the draft specification yesterday. The specification text used the lower-case "longdesc" for the IDL / DOM attribute, as well as for the HTML attribute. However, for DOM the attribute should be "camel-cased". This was brought to our attention recently by SImon Pieters (Thanks!!!), and we meant to clean it up in producing a PR-draft. Unfortunately, I dropped that ball, but I am grateful to Liam for making the change. It was already "camelCased" (i.e. 'longDesc') in the HTML spec, in our own test cases, and in implementations we have tested.
