You said you weren't looking for statistics, but I might as well post this anyway, since it may be useufl. I did a miniature study a couple of weeks ago on a list of 62 pages containing the longdesc attribute on <img>, taken from http://canvex.lazyilluminati.com/survey/2007-07-17/analyse.cgi/pages/tagattr/img/longdesc I found that of all of them, two were valid, and none were useful -- one was for an accessibility checker logo, and longdesc appeared nowhere else on that page; the other was serving up plaintext files which would have better fit into the alt text.
