In our telecon it was discussed that the OBJECT element needs a LONGDESC attribute, just like the IMG element. The main reason is that the user may want both the OBJECT and the LONGDESC information. In the current structure the user can only have one or the other using the OBJECT nesting structure. Another reason is that the OBJECT nesting will be used to provide alternative representations of the function and most time this will probably be: "get a browser that can render this object". This will also provide a more consistant implementation of images since both IMG and OBJECT will have LONGDESC atttributes. What do you think?
