The HTML WG can't simplify our needs based on whether something like 'longdesc' is or isn't typically used. It is a constraint placed on us by the WAI folks, which means it's a constraint placed on our acceptance of linking solutions. We have not yet been able to craft an acceptable solution that encompasses those requirements within the constraints of XLink. Therefore, we floated a proposal that would (HLink), and have asked TAG for assistance (where we got 'deal with it'). You don't want HLink? Fix XLink, we'll be happy to use it if we can meet all OUR requirements when doing so, since we can't ignore or drop them at will. Ann
