[Bug 21565] Should it be an error to use @longdesc on presentational images? And/Or should it _affect_ the role of the image?

*JAWS 13 ignores an image with alt="" and longdesc="some value". However, it
conveys the presence of long description on an image with alt="value" and
longdesc="some value".
*NVDA ver 2012.2.1 ignores an image with alt="" and longdesc="some value".
However, it fails to convey information regarding the long description for an
image with alt="value" and longdesc="some value".
Both results were run on IE8; Win 7 and may differ based on the selected
browser / AT.
