However, with all the significant enhancements for longdesc in the current proposal put forth by Laura and supported by the a11y TF, I would expect we would want those enhancements in HTML 5 regardless of whether we settle on "conforming" or on "obsolete but conforming." In other words, I doubt there'd by any support for retaining the existing HTML 4 longdesc.
