<<2) What some people consider decorative other people consider information. More importantly, if alt="" is a legitimate strategy for anything that does not see important, it's possible that page authors might use it overmuch, removing much content.>> How does a authoring tool put in ALT=""? To an authoring tool, a empty edit box means no text, not NULL text. I would have to manually edit the HTML source to put in ALT="" in the places where I wanted it. People are not likely to put in NULL ALT's anyway and this additional burden might sink the possibility altogether.
