So, are you arguing that BOTH the visual image link and the alt=text should be more informative? That's fine, but they are equally accessible and equally uninformative as is. Beside improving the visual image and the alt=text to be equally informative, the author also has the title=attribute and the longdesc=attribute. Regards, Phill Jenkins
