Something like alt=foo which new clients would recognize as what HTML5 currently specifies as "omitting alt". This doesn't solve the problem for images for which alt is currently omitted and it also is confusing for users of older clients when a page has that particular word a 100 times on it. It might also be confusing to for authors. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
