Worth noting "most", but not all. While JAWS ignores images with either, 
IE/NVDA and Chrome/NVDA (but not Firefox/NVDA) omit any announcement for 
alt="" but do announce "Graphic" for the alt=" " with the space.

The most ideal solution, if possible, would be to tweak/modify the CMS 
to still allow null alt (which then actually outputs alt="" and not 
simply omits the attribute altogether).
