Guy,
Thanks for your feedback. The Task Force has considered your suggestion to more
explicitly define the behavior requirements on User Agents for accessing
longdesc. We agree that discoverability is a key component in the success of
longdesc, which is why we listed it in the Requirements section. However, the
Task Force has decided to allow User Agents the flexibility to develop
innovative solutions for users to discover and interact with longdesc content.
There are known implementation strategies that would not meet the restriction
you suggested in your comment, such as that used by the TellMeMore extension,
or the ability to provide the description directly in a "popup window".
Innovative solutions such as these would not be possible if the specification
required any particular solution.
