What should the browser do if there is no alternative representation
associated with an image, audio or object tag.
1. Should it display nothing, no information about what is not being
rendering.
2. Should the browser indicate that there is no alternative representation
for information, like "no alt text available for image: filename" or a
simplier "[image]".
