How about taking it one step further and say that this is the way it *should* be done when/if one needs to add a long description? Meaning that it would not be necessary to recommend authors to use aria-describedby at all. Instead we can tell them that they may use aria-description should need to point to *additional* descriptions - or if their description isn't suitable as fallback/replacement for the IMG in question. -- leif halvard silli
