Attribute for categories

Once again apologies if this subject has been broached (or if there is a plugin somewhere) before but I didn’t see it anywhere.

Like many I have a menu on my site created using <code><txp:category_list /></code>.

I realize this my following suggestion would require an additional field to be added to the admin interface as well as an attribute for the tag, but . . . how about adding a description for each category?

It needn’t be too long (48 characters should be plenty). And a “desc” attribute to the tag (1 display description as default, 0 supress discription).

This would permit the category_list when rendered into html to produce accessibility compliant links.

As it stands the tag produces <code><a href=“http://www.domain.tld/category/category_name/”>Category_Name</a></code>

The addition of the “desc” field would produce accessiblity friendly links like <code><a href=“http://www.domain.tld/category/category_name/” title=“category description here”>Category_Name</a></code>
