We have a single Change Proposal to include longdesc in HTML5:

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc

At this time the Chairs would also like to solicit alternate Change 
Proposals (possibly with "zero edits" as the Proposal Details), in case 
anyone would like to advocate the status quo or a different change than 
the specific one in the existing Change Proposal.

The following Change Proposal can be resubmitted, but we strongly urge 
it to be updated to reflect the new information provided before doing so:

If no counter-proposals or alternate proposals are received by June 
25th, 2011, we will proceed to evaluate the Change Proposal that we have 
received to date.
