Just last week Jonas said the exact opposite that : changing hidden was "almost completely orthogonal to the longdesc debate" [1]. > Would it be possible to ensure that we decide on 1 before we poll on > 2? That would be unfair. People have had seven years to work with the ARIA folks to improve ARIA. Any new issue would be HTML WG number two hundred and something. (Right now there are 203 issues.[2]) longdesc is issue number THIRTY. It is the lowest number open issue [3]. The Chairs promised to expedite it nine months ago. If any issue is split off, longdesc deserves be decided first. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L.
