I too have another suggestion (one that I think authors might use whether we want the to or not; especially if we don't provide a decent alternative). Authors can simply use the element <video src='mystillimage'>,fallback</video>. This will allow them to provide semantically rich or media rich fallback for their still images without having to resort to @longdesc. After all, what is a still image, but a video with only one frame. I'll add that to the wiki too Take care, Rob
