Actually, the alt attribute value of an image inside a link is 
considered part of the link text - at least for screen readers - even 
if it is not directly visible to users who have images turned on in 
their browsers. Of course, if your boss doesn't know that, I guess 
you're safe with this technique ;-)

Best regards,

Christophe
