However, in most cases, a separate page would probably be required, since presumably most users who do not wish to read the long description would not appreciate its being included as part of the document. Perhaps if it appeared at the end of the text, under its own heading, those who chose not to read the description could readily ignore it. One solution might be to create a separate document which contains long descriptions of images that appear at a particular web site or in a particular directory. Each such description could be named and referred to in LONGDESC attributes by means of an URL fragment: longdesc="http://www.somewhere.org/descriptions.html#description3"
