Re: Another summary of alt="" issues and why the spec says what it says

Sorry, wrong example:

should have been:

<figure>
<img src="=321098412.jpeg" alt="">
<legend>View North East from 23 High Street.</legend>
</figure>

but I can see the logic in

<figure>
<img src="=321098412.jpeg">
<legend>View North East from 23 High Street.</legend>
</figure>

if

<figure>
<img src="=321098412.jpeg">
</figure>

is invalid.
