Features like LONGDESC, TABINDEX, and ACCESSKEY are far from required but are very important to creating a "good" Web site. If your site isn't accessible to a wide range of the Web using population, how can it be a good site? But we can't use these features unless the browsers implement them and browser programming teams don't like implementing things without test cases. -- B.K.
