--- Comment #3 from C. M. Sperberg-McQueen <cmsmcq@blackmesatech.com>  2009-04-18 01:16:16 ---
The spec publication system for XSD 1.1 has now been modified to publish a 
long description for the type hierarchy diagram; the current text is
essentially
that shown in the attachment above, minus the note about it being a draft 
not yet reviewed by the XML Schema WG and plus h1 headings for the two
main sections.

Following some of the links to other resources given at 

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/H45

I found some useful discussions of longdesc.  In an attempt to make the
description useful both to users of screen readers and to users of 
screen magnifiers, I have linked to the long description using both the 
'longdesc' attribute on the img element and using  a text link in a
(new) image caption.  

I did not locate a longdesc attribute or anything similar on the 'object'
element; further tweaks may be required.

The longdesc should be integrated into the W3C-internal copy of the
status quo draft of the spec, at 

  http://www.w3.org/XML/Group./2004/06/xmlschema-2/datatypes.html

as soon as the new version is checked in (any minute now).

Input from readers with experience with longdesc and related issues 
continues to be very welcome and vigorously solicited.
