    <thetext>The following NOTE section does currently occur after 4 pargraphs about how User Agents SHOULD or MAY handle the longdesc attribute:

   ]] Best practices for full descriptions of images are beyond
      the scope of this document, but there are many resources
      available.[[

  Please, instead, move the above NOTE so that it occurs ommediately after the following paragraph:

   ]] Authors should put descriptions within an element which is
      the target of a fragment link (e.g. 
      longdesc=&quot;example.html#description&quot;) if a description is
      only part of the target document. [[

Justification: 

  * The cited NOTE section relates to authoring and should thus occur directly after the normative information on authoring.

  * It is particulary offputting that the cited NOTE section currently occurs directly after a paragraphs about how User Agents MAY treat invalid longdesc attributes. With the wrong glasses on, this could give the impression that is OK for authors to fill the content of @longdesec with textual content (rather than a URL).</thetext>

    <thetext>Hmm. THe conflict here is whether to put the limited best practice notes into a group, or group them by audience (authors, user agents, ...)

I&apos;m happy to change the grouping to make it more audience specific. I&apos;ll try to do that for the next editors&apos; draft which I hope to publish tomorrow.</thetext>
