@longdesc A "negative" use-case!?

Monday, 23 August 2010

Hi Barry, Many thanks for that example! If it is ok with you I will forward that to the working group, with your rational. This is interested as technically aria-describedby could be used to reference the textual description but as this is just so verbose the description would appear twice in the AT users view (as such) so this would be much better, off page as a URI, IMO and referenced by longdesc. Good stuff :-) Josh
