Description Simon Pieters 2014-08-25 09:39:25 UTC 
HTML spec already has .longDesc IDL attribute.

Hi Simon,

It seems that Robin would like it defined in the longdesc spec. Please reference:

Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2014-08-26 13:23:14 UTC 
That's fine if you get the casing right and make the definition the same.
Comment 3 Charles McCathieNevile 2014-08-28 22:56:48 UTC 
Yeah, I talked to Robin. There are a couple of things that should happen, but basically we need to make sure they are the same. And the point of the longdesc spec is that the attribute isn't obsolete if you're working to this spec.

I'll talk to Robin again and make sure we get them in line.
Comment 4 Liam R E Quin 2014-09-08 16:59:57 UTC 
The draft PR document now has the correct spelling of longDesc for the IDL attribute, so we should be able to close this, I think.
