That would only be the case if the screen reader user was using SAY ALL or using the cursor keys to go through the content in a linear manner. So normally to create the programmatic association you would use @alt like this: <img src=321098412.jpeg" alt="View North East from 23 High Street."> > what is known is that describebdy maps to MSAA description, so the > explicit association is provided and semantic relationship is provided > what is in this <p> is a description of <img> 321098412.jpeg > > so could announce; > > "Photograph 2 Description View North East from 23 High Street."

It does in terms of what aria described by is useful for, it is the point that a contiguous relationship such as that defined by <img src=321098412.jpeg" alt="View North East from 23 High Street."> being somehow prone to error that I don't understand.
