Re: Blank alt attributes for images - best practise?

No help in answering this question. (And it only has 3 screen readers 
and 2 voice browsers in it - although it probably covers half the 
english speaking market it covers a small fraction of the screen 
readers in active development and use).

To return to the question, Lynx under some settings will substitute the 
filename for alt="", but I think the default setting is for it to 
interpret alt="" literally and put nothing there.
