I think it would be good to point out somewhere in the spec that the longdesc attribute might contain a data URI, and thus that implementations must be prepared to handle data URIs in the longdesc attribute. Justification: * make vendors aware that we expect data URIs to work; * make authors aware that they may use data URIs; * avoid that data URIs only becomes a subject of the repair mechanism propsed in bug 21439. 85339 1 chaals 2013-04-01 23:01:21 +0000 I already added an example in my local draft :)
