This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
HTML5.0 is not feature complete as it lacks a completely conforming longdesc attribute. Please add it to HTML5 proper. For rationale please consult: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Sep/att-0025/comments-mt.html
This request is contrary to the HTML WG decision to adopt Plan 2014, which specifically included a provision to handle ISSUE-30 longdesc via an extension specification. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2012Oct/0105.html
