Its main benefits are: * visual users get it because asterix is a commonly used marker * screen reader users get it because the alt text gets read out and does not rely on dubious implementation of "title" or user preference settings. NB I also use a similar thing to mark where on a form there are errors that need addressing (in addition to stating at the top). Jon
