    <thetext>Add this step to the RDF section:

]]
For each img and iframe element in the Document that has a longdesc attribute that resolves successfully relative to the element, generate the following triple:

subject
    the document&apos;s current address 
predicate
    http://www.w3.org/2007/05/powder-s#describedby
object
    the absolute URL that results from resolving the value of the element&apos;s longdesc attribute relative to the element 
[[


describedby will be included in XHTML+RDFa:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa-wg/2011Jan/0086.html

Citing POWDER:

]] 2.2.8 Property describedby

RDF Property

Label: described by

Defined in: http://www.w3.org/TR/powder-dr/#semlink

An RDF property to exactly match the describedby relationship type introduced in http://www.w3.org/TR/powder-dr/#assoc-linking and formally defined in appendix D of the same document, i.e. the relationship A &apos;describedby&apos; B asserts that resource B provides a description of resource A. There are no constraints on the format or representation of either A or B, neither are there any further constraints on either resource

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: This would be utterly wrong. longdesc=&quot;&quot; is not a description of the current document. It would also be a waste of time, since longdesc=&quot;&quot; values are almost uniformly either bogus or useless, and the element is non-conforming so new valid documents won&apos;t use it.</thetext>

&gt; Status: Rejected
&gt; Change Description: no spec change
&gt; Rationale: This would be utterly wrong. longdesc=&quot;&quot; is not a description of the
&gt; current document.

An empty cite=&quot;&quot; should be just as utterly wrong as an empty longdesc=&quot;&quot; is. Thus, if this is a problem, the Microdata estraction algorithm needs to change - to cater for empty longdesc=&quot;&quot; and empty cite=&quot;&quot;.

&gt; It would also be a waste of time, since longdesc=&quot;&quot; values
&gt; are almost uniformly either bogus or useless, and the element is non-conforming
&gt; so new valid documents won&apos;t use it.

That is true. Hence I liked this issue to Bug 10455, which seems to be the one that best tracks ISSUE-30.</thetext>

    <thetext>The bug-triage sub-team thinks this is an issue of metadata, not of real people accessing information, thus we decided not to add the a11yTF keyword.</thetext>
