Incidentally, I'd recommend taking heed of the warnings at: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/intro.html#h-19.1 and http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#validandconform Validity is a subset of conformance. While your example document currently validates, it does not conform. For instance, the longdesc attribute takes a URI not a string of descriptive text: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#adef-longdesc-IMG For example: longdesc="#same-page-full-text-equivalent-to-image" longdesc="/path/to/full/text/equivalent/on/another/page.html" Personally, I'd probably treat that particular image as a "furniture" image with no particular editorial meaning and use alt="" and no longdesc. Lots of guidance on using alt and longdesc to provide text alternatives can be found at: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#text-equiv and http://delicious.com/benjaminhawkeslewis/%28X%29HTML%3Aalt+guidance Moreover, formal conformance is either a subset of, or orthogonal to, industry best practice. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
