Re: img alt text, links and titles

In iCab, I am not sure. In Opera you could do something like add a bit of
user CSS:

*[longdesc]:after { content: 'description available' }

Which would mark the image with text to point it out. (This is like
screenreaders saying "link" before each link, etc, which seems the obvious
user interface approach (I don't know how well iCab integrates with
outSpoken, the only screen reader available for a mac, but I do know that its
own speech output isn't that complex)

cheers
