--- Comment #2 from Mark Sadecki <mark@w3.org> ---
added to the Authoring Requirements section:

> Authors SHOULD NOT rely solely on longdesc where standards exist to provide direct, structured access. 

> Note: (informative) For example a MathML version of mathematical content, or an SVG image that uses the accessibility features of SVG, can provide better accessibility to users with appropriate technology. In such cases, it is appropriate to use longdesc as a fallback strategy, in combination with more modern techniques.
