Hi Arron,

I believe you are mistaken - the HTML5 Image Description Extension (longdesc)
at: https://www.w3.org/TR/html-longdesc/ makes the @longdesc attribute a now
fully conformant attribute in HTML5 (as per Plan 2014:
https://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/html5-2014-plan.html) and thus, also
as part of HTML5.1

This is/was a compromise position taken with the then HTML5 WG and the Chairs,
and as HTML5.1 is intended to supersede HTML5.0 then all new extensions
released since then are in scope. (This also includes MSE/EME if they are
finalized in time for the HTML5.1 release)

I am reopening this as still requiring resolution based on historical context
and promises made. If HTML5 *still* states that #@longdesc is obsolete, then a
bug needs to be filed *ON THAT*.
