I tend to keep all graphics in a specific directory - turning off the 
read permission of the directory is a good way of seeing all the alt 
attributes in Mozilla, throughout a site.

To maintain corporate fonts, logos, etc., I create company names in 
their appropriate font as graphics, duplicating the image text in the 
alt atribute.  When these are inserted into h1 elements (since they are 
page headers), things look amazingly 'normal' and clean in Mozilla once 
the images are blocked.  I find this a very handy way of getting a feel 
for the site in a graphic-free environment.
