Description Charles McCathieNevile 2013-03-19 22:23:15 UTC 
Allow validation of HTML that includes the longdesc attribute, as specified in the extension spec.

- Valid on img elements
- Must be a valid URI (can be relative)

(I doubt this is a surprise, but a formal bug makes it easy for me to find).

Seems support is there. Is there a way to validate that the content is a "Valid URL potentially surrounded by spaces" (or whatever the technical term is)? Should I file a new bug for that?

Thanks for the support, by the way.

Should be working as expected now (I had just forgotten to actually push the change from the repo to the validator.)

Cheers :)
