Hi Robin,

It seems like the opposite has been done with ARIA. Will all ARIA verbiage and
links be split out of HTML5?

I will be very interested to see how the HTML working group and HTML5
specification actively promotes the longdesc specification.

Thank you, Robin. Working it out in an equitable manner is what is needed. I'll
leave this bug open to see how fairly the HTML Working Group and the HTML5 spec
handles the situation.
