[Bug 22855] Would it make sense to say that not having alt violates WCAG?

--- Comment #2 from dmacdona <david100@sympatico.ca> ---
The section on markup generators says it is really bad to use file name, yet in
the section before we recommend it if the alt is not available.


4.8.1.1.19 Guidance for markup generators
This is intended to avoid markup generators from being pressured into replacing
the error of omitting the alt attribute with the even more egregious error of
providing phony text alternatives, because state-of-the-art automated
conformance checkers cannot distinguish phony text alternatives from correct
text alternatives...
Markup generators should generally avoid using the image's own file name as the
text alternative..
