The problem is that this sentence by itself, located where the <img> element is located, makes no sense out of context. E.g. in Lynx, without knowing it's an image, it looks darned peculiar. Peculiarness isn't an accessibility problem, of course, but a style and (somewhat) a usability one. In my opinion it's better to state that an image is an image (even if that's redundant for some users) than just leave a nonsequitur phrase floating there on the page. --KynnReceived on Thursday, 31 January 2002 10:44:58 UTC
