There are a number of places in the Web Content Techniques document [1] where ALT text is less than ideal. The most serious ones are the following, but some others could probably be improved: Section 4.4.1: alt="Item" should probably be alt="* " The list right now looks like: ItemAudrey ItemLaurie ItemAlice when it should look like: * Audrey * Laurie * Alice Section 4.7.7: Since there are alternate texts for the image map later, perhaps the map itself should just have alt=""? Section 5.3.1: alt="Example in big red characters" should be replaced by alt="example". The sentence This is an Example in big red characters of what we mean. is a bit strange, while This is an example of what we mean. makes much more sense.
