Hence it is weird to find text snippets like this: ]] The aria-describedby attribute designed by WAI has several advantages over the longdesc attribute. The first one is that it is much more generic than longdesc [[ We also find a section on 'Reasons for deprecating longdesc' ... As the CP notes, the chairs has split the issue ... But the entire CP appears as a CP for another issue. -- Leif Halvard Silli
