--- Comment #4 from Shane McCarron <shane@aptest.com> ---
The language in the section had changed some since the original comment. 
Proposed change is:

      <p>Purely decorative images are visual enhancements, decorations, or
embellishments that provide no function or information beyond aesthetics to
users who can view the images.</p>
      <p>Mark up purely decorative images so they can be ignored by assistive
technology by using an empty <code>alt</code> attribute (alt=""). </p>
      <p class='note'>An alternate technique is to include the image using CSS.
 This is NOT recommended, as CSS background images can make it difficult for
visually impaired users to enable "high contrast" mode.</p>
