Not entirely true. This is a first level heading in a valid HTML attribute, encoded as a data URI.

	longdesc="data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3Ch1%3ETitle%3C%2Fh1%3E%3Cp%3EBody%20text%3C%2Fp%3E"

Which un-encodes to the following incomplete, but totally accessible HTML document:

	<h1>Title</h1>
	<p>Body text</p>

You can even link to it, or paste it into your browser location field.

	data:text/html;charset=utf-8,%3Ch1%3ETitle%3C%2Fh1%3E%3Cp%3EBody%20text%3C%2Fp%3E
