Re: [office] Important question from Accessibility SC

[Daniel Carrera <daniel.carrera@zmsl.com>]

Good question. I'd be inclined to either create a new attribute or use 
svg:desc. I wouldn't like using draw:name or office:name. That seems 
like a misuse of those tags.

How about two new tags: 'office:desc' and 'office:long-desc'? This idea 
is inspired by:

Cheers,
Daniel.
