Note there is a difference between the alt and summary attributes: alt is
required for img -- even if it's just alt="", it has to be there; summary
does not. ("Required" in the sense of valid [x]HTML).
I rarely pay much attention to them, but you do have a point -- Tidy treats
*both* omissions as "Warnings", but with no means of silencing 'summary'.
