Hi Laura, I don't quite understand why that change is a problem. It expresses something that is already codified in ARIA and thus just brings it in line with another W3C spec. Also, it has no direct relationship to the longdesc issue, it just rectifies the use of aria-describedby with hidden text. longdesc has a very different purpose to aria-describedby. Therefore, I don't see how this circumvented a WG process. Regards, Silvia.
