Description Laura Carlson 2012-12-17 16:53:40 UTC 
HTML5.0 is not feature complete as it lacks a completely conforming longdesc attribute. 

Please add it to HTML5 proper.

For rationale please consult:

and

Comment 1 Maciej Stachowiak 2013-01-21 21:53:33 UTC 
This request is contrary to the HTML WG decision to adopt Plan 2014, which specifically included a provision to handle ISSUE-30 longdesc via an extension specification.
