And this paragraph seems to be self-contradictory: we don't object to 'generated' text as long as it doesn't appear in the place where the text has to appear? Not "generated text", an @generated attribute. > Or is this saying they'd like *another* attribute 'missing-alt="true and the authoring tool knows it and yes I have asked him twice this morning to deal with it!"'? Yes. Or rather, just an attribute that affirms that the author did not (and does not intend to) provide @alt, without a text value. I think this is a fair compromise between the people who value accessibility, and the ones who don't, but still want to be valid. Either way, they need to do something in line with their preference in order to validate. - m
