Re: Comments on the recent changes to the alt attribute section

Lachlan provides a good review.  Some minor comments below...

For the text inside the {}, I think registration would be over-heavy. 
However, a list of suggested strings and their uses might encourage 
some sort of convergence.  Also, I assume that the intent is that 
they be interpreted by the user-agent, rather than displayed to the 
user, so translated versions are not needed (and indeed, would be 
counter-productive).

The initial list could be those in the document.

I feel that an empty {} should be disallowed.

It appears not to be legal to have both a string and a {} 
construction.  If we expect this state to persist, then perhaps we 
don't need a bracketing pair of characters, but merely an initial 
character?
