Hi Leif, Thanks for checking this. > +1 Super! (Typo: You had 'discription' 2 places in the text.) Fixed.

For the time being, I made a note to that effect in the sample spec text [2]. It can be adjusted after ISSUE-31 is decided. longdesc needs to be inserted but just how is affected by the spec text for alt.
