[Bug 25886] Confusing to say null alt text in one sentence and MUST be left empty in the next.

--- Comment #1 from dmacdona <david100@sympatico.ca> ---
"Purely decorative images must be marked up so they can be ignored by assistive
technology with a null alt attribute (alt="") or preferably use CSS techniques.
If the image isn't providing the user any informative content or enhancing
greater understanding of the content, then the alt attribute must be empty."

1) Remove the word empty and replace it with "must have a null value"

2) Two low vision members of the WCAG mentioned today that CSS background
images mess with the contrast changes they try to make. So I suggest remove "or
preferably use CSS techniques"
