Without running much risk, we can give some hints of what is decoration vs what is not. > LQ:: > > For "Images and Image maps" (section 2.1--the first one), the first > paragraph is great, but the examples in that section don't agree with the > advice.

DD:: I think "XYZ Logo" is the function of the graphic: it's the logo of the XYZ company, that's its job. The description could be something like "A multicolored apple", or "A circle of 12 stars", which probably belongs into the long description file if it's more than 5 words (like "part of piano keyboard surrounded by a couple of notes and a G clef") More later.
