Having seen the page in question, the actual background image is a pattern of black and gray horizontal stripes, one pixel wide. The effect it creates is to cause the text area -- which has a white background -- to pop out, focusing the reader's eyes. No description of the image will have a similar effect for non-visual users, and, in fact, it is probably unneccessary because a screen reader focuses the user's attention similarly already. I don't think that Ineke believes that non-visual users should be deprived of anything. But this brings up an interesting question: how does one convey the equivalent meaning to a non-visual user?
