You know, even though there's limited longdesc support available
now in a few browsers, it would really make sense for us to look at
what it would take to begin to abandon the longdesc attribute and
start using appropriate XLink constructions instead.

Al, Chaalz, others, what are your thoughts on this?  Should we
encourage transition to XLink as a strategy for "future-proofing"?
