I didn't make any claims about how well it's supported. That was David 
[1], who seems to have made the claim as some sort of argument against 
my proposed longdesc study.

I'm not sure what point you're tring to make here.  The question I'm 
trying to answer with the study I proposed only concerns the usability 
of the longdesc attribute in assistive technology that does support it. 
  The fact that there are others that don't support it is irrelevant to 
this particular question (although the level of support is still 
relevant to the overall question of whether longdesc should be included 
in the spec)
