Per the specification the element represents the text given by the alt attribute in the scenario that the image is not available and both the src and alt attribute are set. That the image is not available follows from the fact that the src attribute has a value that is an ignored self-reference which follows from the value being the empty string and supposedly (full document is not available here) the base URI being the same as the document's address. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
