Did you have any official stats about that ? First keep in mind that actually a big majority of people doesn't care at all about validation so i don't think that the empty alt just for validation is really more used that a correct used of the empty alt. Ask to users if they prefers to have page with complete URL or files names every times the AT comes to an image or simply a page where this useless information is skipped. In my mind, if the spec must change on the alt attribut is more to test that images in a link don't have an empty alt because in that case it make it totaly inaccessible. > > Yes, but the majority of cases in the wild @alt="" is not used because > the image is semantically devoid of meaning, but rather because the > author hasn't given any alternative. > > > - Geoffrey Sneddon >
