Re: psl align alt tip with WAI quick tip

> "Use the alt attribute to describe the function of each visual element"

As someone else pointed out, rather briefly, "describe" is wrong.
What should go into alt is a functional equivalent of the graphic in
the context of the document - it should not, for example, describe 
irrelevant visual detail.  Basically, someone reading only the text
should hardly be aware that there was a graphic there.
