Ability to style the alt tags would be very nice, I am not aware how  
currently the alt tags inherit their properties, is there are rule for it  
in CSS or HTML?

Also, the problem as to what to do with a long line would be a problem  
only when both img sizes are set to 'auto' (someone may offer a better  
property value than auto tho, to imply that alt tag will be used as size  
reference). There wouldn't be a problem  if the width is set, or limited  
with a max-width.

Tho, styling alt tags would be so nice.

Now, my question is, is the content declared in alt is considered a child  
of the image? I think not, but if it was, we could style img *, alt would  
be included automatically.
