Straw man fallacy. The referenced example works fine. http://cookiecrook.com/longdesc/details/ It has native support in Safari & Chrome, and proof-of-concept polyfill support in Firefox & IE. > An alternative is to provide the table via longdesc, but while almost all screenreaders support this fine, support for non-screenreader users in browsers is still pretty much rubbish :( Rubbish, indeed.
