Hi Suzanne, Thank you for your email. It is very disheartening to know the negative consequences that the long delay in resolving HTML-ISSUE-30 has caused companies like Pearson and the K-12 community who want to use longdesc but find it difficult as it not yet reinstated in HTML5. I apologize. The HTML WG delay is inexcusable. Sam, Paul, and Maciej will the Chairs now please, please take concrete action to resolve ISSUE-30? Not doing so will further hurt accessibility.
