I agree with you that there is no particular problem in using , except that you don't know how it will be rendered. The specification explicitly says leading/trailing whitespace in attributes will be ignored, so relying on it breaks even the "be strict in what you send but tolerant in what you accept" model.

What access impairment is caused by the use of ALT=" " on a spacer image used inline between otherwise un-separated text content? How should one mark this up otherwise if not ALT=" "? Unless someone can answer those questions better, I would like to dissent on points 1. and 2. Al
