Hi Charles, Silvia wrote: > The @longdesc is only deprecated, Jonas' proposal is misleading. It is titled "Keep the longdesc attribute for the img element deprecated". However, it does not deprecate longdesc. It obsoletes it entirely. The concept "deprecate" does not exist in HTML5. According to the HTML5 specification obsolete features must not be used by authors [1]. Obsolete features trigger errors. An error for a proper longdesc is simply wrong. People should not be reprimanded for doing the right thing. On the contrary, they should be applauded.
