Pimping my own wares for Firefox: <https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=firefox&id=273> (with a more thorough explanation and test page at <http://www.splintered.co.uk/experiments/55/>) But in general, it boils down to: if by "supported" we mean "exposed to the user in any kind of workable, user friendly way" then the answer looks rather bleak out of the box. I would not rely on having important information simply linked to from a longdesc attribute - and I would certainly not advocate having the "[D]" link either. A discreet link with meaningful text after the image would be my choice... -- Patrick H.
