What should happen when/if both are used on the same <img>? Solving this problem will tell authors whether it is useful to use both, or always just a waste of time/space, sometimes useful etc. Example: <img aria-describedby=samepage-fragment longdesc=#samepage-fragment src=foo alt="Foo. Bar."> What if aria-describedby contains a IDREF _list_? Should that impact how one uses @longdesc? Example: <img aria-describedby=samepage-fragment-1 samepage-fragment-2 samepage-fragment-3 longdesc=#samepage-fragment-1 src=foo alt="Foo. Bar."> Are there cases when it is useful to _both_ point to long description on the same page (via aria-describedby) _and_ to a long description on another page? Or should this cause a warning, for some reason? Example: <img aria-describedby=samepage-fragment longdesc=other-page src=foo alt="Foo. Bar."> 37520 1 ian 2010-08-16 22:24:39 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED.
