To clarify
The following sections of HTML5[1] are duplicated in the last working draft
of the alt tech doc[2] All the content is *informative*. It contains no
normative requirements. The only normative requirements on use of alt in
HTML5 originate from the HTML5 specification.

4.7.1.1.1 Examples of scenarios where users benefit from text alternatives
for images
