I understand the purpose of the "d" link is to provide the user with a description of a complex graphic. Should all images have "d" links or only those that are complex? In other words, although a description of an image may not be essential to the content of the site, would it be a good idea to give the user and opportunity to experience the graphic in a more meaningful way? In addition, it seems that using the "d" tag could be confusing to the user if there were a number of complex graphics on the page. As the user tabbed throught the links they would hear "link d" . . . "link d" . . . "link d". They would have to work to figure out what image the link refers to. I know this is convention for describing images, but is it the best approach?
