I have had a look at the tests and yes I would be interested in reopening discussion. I am not exactly clear on what the image was in Joe's example - am assuming an image of the text "Ian" - if so, I do believe that it should have a null ALT text.

All the tests are subject to revision but is anyone interested in reopening this discussion? Chris
