This is a good example of WCAG 2.4.4 descriptive linked text...
Perhaps have a second example with no anchor, where it is just a flat logo
image


    <img src="images/w3c_home.png" width="72" height="48" alt="W3C logo">


I have a blind friend that mentioned to me that she likes to know it is a logo,
rather than just the company name in the alt text. alt="CanAdapt logo"
the word logo of course is optional, leaving logo off would also be
sufficient... but I don't think we should give the impression that we have to
leave the word "logo" off in a non-linked logo image... ie sponsorship pages
etc...

(of course perhaps these days it is hard to find a non-linked image of a logo
on the web.) would like other's opinions.
