One proposal quite a few years old is for authors to provide a null value for alt as distinct from omiting alt, e.g. <img src=blank.gif alt=""> User agents would be recommended to default alt based upon the url's name, e.g. <img src=logo.gif> would yield "logo" as the default. Does this sound reasonable?
