question about accessible pictures

Hi,
I am a reader of this list. I have a question 
and  hope it isn't too stupid, and not wasting 
your time.

I work with tactile graphics for the blind and
visually impaired. 

With alternative text I know there is long 
discription tag and etc. I was wondering
if there is something similar for a graphic that
is alternative to the regular graphic. 

I am thinking of a tag for a graphic that is specially 
designed for graphics on microcapsule paper (a black and 
white gif that is later copied to a special paper)or an included 
embosser file or for visually impaired an adapted graphic.

Something similar to the low source for graphics which wouldn't 
show up for most but there and available.

Thank you for your time.

Lisa Yayla

IJ: For checkpoint 4.14: Indicate in Note that allowing the user to
select 
more than one style sheet may be a useful way to implement other 
requirements of this document. Also, if the user agent offers several 
default style sheets, the user agent can also use these to satisfy some 
requirements (e.g., available on the Web; this would allow user agents
to 
improve accessiblity of deployed user agents).
