Yes, but not by any _user_ (Checkpoint 3.4 in WCAG 2.0), the examples also makes little sense in isolation, they describe an image which unless you've used the longdesc on an image to get to that url they aren't meaningful (they describe images which you don't even know where to find them.) Are the longdescs intentionally only plain-text for some reason? (perhaps because the url is designed for UA's to replace the image with the longdesc rather than a url for humans to actually visit.) Or should I make the longdesc page accessible? Jim.
