[Bug 21493] Describe the longdesc link rot issue and suggest how to combat it

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21493

--- Comment #3 from Charles McCathieNevile <chaals@yandex-team.ru> ---
In my research rotted longdesc links are nowhere near as common as plain text
descriptions, but of course looking at a different slice might give different
results.

I think this is a basic problem of best practices in site maintenance. I don't
see why the normative HTML spec should say "authors should be careful to
re-check the values of attributes when they copy source code around", or
"authors should think about how they are going to be sure that their content
stays up to date" and I don't see why this spec should say that either.
