Don't confuse the two. The argument over the @longdesc extension is not even 
close to unanimous even within the accessibility development circles. Major 
objections to @longdesc came from several of us working full-time on 
accessibility.

The main element, in contrast, appears to have near unanimous support amongst 
the accessibility development community, and is a 1:1 semantic match with 
role="main" which is being used on many major websites. I think we'll see quick 
author adoption of <main> once this patch ships.
