I agree we have two somewhat independent issues: 1. Should ARIA attributes be allowed to point to @hidden elements. 2. Should @longdesc be marked as obsolete. However it seems like issue 2 depends on issue 1. I.e. the case for marking longdesc as obsolete is stronger if ARIA is allowed to point to hidden elements. Would it be possible to ensure that we decide on 1 before we poll on 2? / Jonas
