[Bug 13449] Don't allow blank alt text on area elements

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13449

--- Comment #6 from Charles McCathieNevile <chaals@yandex-team.ru> ---
More importantly than screen readers, users who primarily interact visually but
rely on assistance from information like alt text are likely to be confused.
The scenario implied is that there are several regions of an image that would
logically link to the same destination. A visual user who seeks confirmation
from alt will not be given the same information for the different area element
links.

It seems this is therefore a straight-out bug.
