Sorry, could you be more clear about what exactly you mean here? I 
guessed that you might mean [1], but that doesn't seem to mention 
VoiceOver or Orca at all.

A little internet searching suggests that longdesc might well not be 
supported in Orca [2], VoiceOver [3] or, indeed, NVDA [4], so I am 
confused as to what the "untruths" you refer to are. Has the level of 
support in those UAs changed recently?
