You know you would find it a lot easier to define a longdesc rel patter if you first proposed it as an actual microformat[1], you would find it a lot easier then to convince people that longdesc is desirable because you would have examples, a use case and a format to persuade people with. @longdesc isnt much thought about by the web as a whole (hence why the longdesc attribute was recently removed in HTML5[2]) so its difficult for people to get a grip of why the value may be useful, Im not saying @longdesc isn't but use cases and examples *should* come first before you can begin a technical discussion about format, It gives people a solid Idea of what you are proposing and how it may be implemented.
