It could but currently the user does have to navigate away from the page they are in. Presenting the longdesc content in another pop-up is IMO an inelegant solution also so I would suggest a discussion on what would be the best way to present this information to the user in a manner that is non disruptive. (Although this is a user agent issue it is still important that for our side we have a clear idea of how it ideally should be rendered. I think if it could be retrieved by the UA and then automatically read out, rather like @summary and the user could just move focus when they have finished. No pop-ups, navigating to other pages etc. Josh
