A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test." would be better than it reading it as "(AT-specific cue that an unknown image is present). A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test." "Card 1" is not an alternative for Rorschach1.jpg, it's a title. <figure> <img title="Card 1" src=r1.jpg> <legend>A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test.</legend> </figure> ...would be ok, the AT could render that as (where /.../ indicates an AT-specific voice cue): "/Image with title: Card 1./ A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test." The point being that the alt="" attributes indicates that the existence of the image doesn't need to be conveyed to the user at all, but here we do want to convey the presence of the image. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
