Enjoy. http://www.excelcon.com/ - funny, proper alt on logo (should logo have alt text like this?) and spacer.gif for navigation. Other spacer.gif's have same alt too, you say this helps accessibility? Pretty much any purely decorative image, or image used for layout (in best case first belong to CSS, second should not exist at all). There may be few other cases, but I won't go into this.
