Re: longdesc

Well, not all browsers support the attribute. No browser breaks anything if
it is there, but in some browsers it isn't possible to get to the URI in
question.

As to what you point to, it can in principle be anything, but a well
structured HTML document is probably the ideal choice in most cases.

which is no longer legal tender)
