A better ALT

I've added <http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ABetterAlt> to the wiki.

This is an attempt to assemble the previous weeks' discussion of a possible
unification of equivalents markup, which ended with <alt for=idref
type=MIMEtype title="advisory inormation">. I've also expaned a bit on how
UAs should handle <alt>. Not a complete parsing algorithm yet, but it may
provide a starting point for that discussion :)

I'm bound to have forgotten things and misrepresented opinions, so please
improve the page.
