I think that would mostly be for validators to determine, rather than  
the spec. But the spec could give guidance. My proposal is that  
validators should encourage authors to consider alternatives to  
longdesc, most notably aria-describedby.

Do you have any other suggestions on what guidance the spec should  
give on the warning?
