Create ops:describedby attribute to provide a mechanism for long descriptions of images, data tables, etc.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There needs to be a way to convey long descriptions to the user of things such 
as images, graphs, charts, data tables, etc.  The proposed attribute, 
ops:describedby, will reference external URIs and can be applied to any 
element, not just images.  Note:  if HTML5 defines its own version of 
describedby-- see http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10455 for one 
proposal-- ops:describedby will become unnecessary and can be dropped.

On the request of the submitter, closing this issue. Native HTML5 constructs 
will be used instead.
