<CHRIS.KREUSSLING@ny.frb.org>, w3c-wai-ig@w3.org  Thanks for the
tips on using the notes feature for extra text.  A good place
for the equivalent of a LONGDESC.  I think though that the trick
of hiding text is still useful if you want the text equivalent
of an image to appear in the same place of the image.  For
example if you have a page that says  The hydrogen atom consists
of  [image] with a positive charge   [image] with a negative
charge  Where the first image is a picture of a proton, and the
second image is a picture of an electron.  You can create a
slide with the following text:  The hydrogen atom consists of  a
proton with a positive charge   an electron  with a negative
charge  The put the images over the words "a proton" and "an
electron" respectively.  That way the graphical version of the
page shows the desired graphic effect
