Agreed. I have a real problem with that whole thing anyway. How about: Only include automatically generated alternative content when the meaning or function of the described object is known with certainty. or maybe: "...has been identified by the author." This allows for the author, for example, to select from a set of "bullet points" that include ALT="*" without having to endure a prompt for each one, as well as the author being able to check a box that says: [X] Always use this textual description for this particular image.
