Since you mentioned them a few times, do you perhaps have a pointer to those use cases?

I forget what the context is on this. Is this about the @summary and @longdesc? The sue cases are authors who want to provide possibly lengthy and possibly semantically rich description of inherently visual content to those who have a visual impairment. In the case of @summary, that doesn't necessarily meet the semantically rich description criteria, but it can be potentially lengthy and descriptive. In particular this is a use-case for description that is redundant for sighted users and would even be annoying for them to have to read (if it was displayed by default).

I hope that addresses your question.

Take care,
Rob
