[whatwg] Question regarding accessibility for img

I notice that it says in the spec under the img-section:

"There has been some suggestion that the longdesc attribute from HTML4, or 
some other mechanism that is more powerful than alt="", should be included. 
This has not yet been considered."

May I ask why it has not been considered (yet)?
