That is your interpretation of the ARIA spec. One that I don't agree with. And based on the subject of this thread, one that the spec editors might not agree with either. My interpretation is that everyone should see the link. *That* would be the best solution for everyone. No matter what we do with regards to @longdesc it seems that it's better for AT users if they do indeed see the semantics of the elements pointed to by aria-describedby. / Jonas
