Hi,
the first "bad example" looks like it should be two examples.
Rather than describing a particular image in the examples, distinguish:
a decorative image (one that merely provides rounded corners, a picture of
people that is additional to rather than a part of the information
presented, a spacer [if the page fails 3.14] or the like), which should
have alt="";
an icon, e.g. used as a link to a table of contents which should have
alt="table of contents", or an icon used to flag a form field as required
which should have alt="required: " or the like;
an image convying real content such as a data chart, which should have a
non-visual representation of the data (e.g. tabulated or in lists - but
note relevant checkpoints here too).
cheers
Chaals
