HTML5 would offer 2 additional things that could make @desclink more successful
than @longdesc

1) URL validation: validator.nu based HTML5 validation performs URL validity
checking. 
    This would at the very least catch invalid URLs.
    If we wish, we also have opportunity to make some of the urls
    in the 'obvious errors' category invalid.

2) @data-*   The @data-* attribute can be used for the purposes that e.g. the
AddFullisize.com developer misuses @longdesc for.  (In fact, the
AddFullsize.com developer has already told me that he intends to do that in his
next version.)
