Though it still needs some work, note that this technique has already been identified as deprecated in the latest draft of HTML Techniques [1]. One of the advantages of deprecating the technique (vs. removing it completely) is that it gives us an opportunity to explain to authors why we are no longer recommending the use of d-link. As we expand the information in the techniques draft to include specific details about user agent support for the longdesc attribute, this should help authors to understand which technique or combination of techniques is appropriate and leaves the door open for use of d-link when authors are specifically targeting support for older user agents.
