And is there not a risk that e.g. a query for all images with longdesc could
lead to other results than a query for all non-presentational images? I.e. is
there not a risk for confusion?

Also, I once again think it should be said, in the spec, that longdesc does not
affect on the role (presentation or otherwise) of the image.
