please don't cross-post to the pfwg-comments (Was: aria-describedby vs longdesc [was: Re: Opera 10.10 recently added longdesc support])

The alias, public-pfwg-comments@w3.org, is for formal comments on the  
ARIA working drafts. Whether or not the suggestion will be  
implemented, Jim was right to send his comment to that address. Next  
time, please don't cross-post, and feel free to remove the pfwg- 
comments alias from any future replies or forwards to this thread.  
Thanks.
