Hi Devarshi,

This bug isn't redundant. If ISSUE-30 [1] is resolved successfully, discussion
of expanding longdesc in Last Call 2 can take place. In the mean time
documenting use cases is useful preparation. Further elaboration on which
elements you feel longdesc would be useful on and why would be appreciated.

Thank you.
