                    alternative
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

current wording of spec[1]:

"If the area element has an href attribute, then the area element represents a
hyperlink; the alt attribute, which must then be present, specifies the text."  

proposed addition:

"the content of the alt attribute must be a brief description of the link
target."

or words to that effect.
