Anyway the example at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test9.html 
still contradicts http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-HTML-TECHS/#linktext 
(provide useful link text). If there are several images we could have 
several d-links, i.e, links that share the same text (a "D") but point to 
different targets. If I supported that test (I don't), I would improve the 
example by adding a mandatory title attribute to every d-link.

So, another question is what should we do with an "accepted" test which 
is based on a "deprecated" technique.
