Yeah, I had the same thought: if UAs do not expose @longdesc it's hardly surprising that users ignore @longdesc. If UAs wouldn't support <img>, logs would 'prove' that users aren't interested in <img>. And even though Jaws is in theory one of the few tools that exposes @longdesc, it apparently for a long time contained an @longdesc crash bug. So perhaps Jaws users avoid activating @longdesc... -- Sander Tekelenburg The Web Repair Initiative: <http://webrepair.org/>
