Re: level of detail in alt, for a "self-describing" SVG

Hi Chaals:

Since in this specific case, as you indicate, it is an example and, 
therefore, the specific data is not necessary or useful to understand 
it; I think the best option is the simplest, the one that does not 
indicate the data.

Best,
