Re: screen readers, browsers, & the reporting of ALT on & in image maps

This is really a problem with the software.  It shouldn't be necessary to 
worry about whether "show pictures" is on.  It's a reminder of how tricky 
surfing is even for people who are very experienced, when you have a 
screenreader on top of a visual browser.  Although you can avoid this 
problem with browsers like Lynx, pwWebspeak, and Home Page reader, then you 
miss text put up by javascript.
