I would be inclined to agree, but are we taking about vendors or authors? If (as Chaals pointed out), implementation in a browser may be relatively trivial and /if/ it is a case that it could be beneficial for @longdesc to be dusted off and revitalized (as such) - I think this may be worth exploring. For authors, re-animating use of @longdesc would tie into the paving the cowpaths mantra - there may not have been a cow down this road for sometime, but /if/ there is a ghost of a path I would be interested in exploring it.
