The user has to take a special action (hovering over the image) to display the encumbrance (a cursor change), so it's not "default". If we accepted iCab's behavior as a "default visual encumbrance", we'd need to reject all Laura's examples of long descriptions with "No Forced Visual Encumbrance or Default Visual Indicator". http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld.html#noclutter All discoverable metadata can be made visible. The actions required to do this range from trivial (hovering) to hard (writing a custom scraper). But don't confuse "easily discoverable metadata" with visible data. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
