Hi Olaf, Thank you for the comments. I assume it's just a QA miss on the alt attributes. I am sending your e-mail to the comment list <wai-eo-editors@w3.org>. That will get your comments to the editors who can address them. We welcome any additional comments to that editors list or through Github.

I assume it will get fixed first thing in the morning...
