Re: [niso-sts] Where to put <long-desc>

["Denise French dfrenchlibrary@xxxxxxxxx" <niso-sts-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, but this does not help. WHERE should that long description to
which the document points BE? Is it part of the XML? That is, if the long
description is a paragraph, where in the XML is that paragraph? And if it
is not in the XML, where should it be? Are we expected to put it on a
public server in a place that we hope will never change and point to it?
This seems odd, and probably unworkable.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, but it looks to me like the "Best
Practice" is to put the actual text of the long description outside the
<long-desc> tag, but I don't see any guidance on where to put it.
