It would provide the ability to add multiple 'alternate URLs' cleanly. Otherwise you are going to get a hack like this: <IMG SRC="blah" ALTSRC="blah1%%blah2%%blah3%%blah4"> This is because <IMG SRC="blah ALTSRC="blah1" ALTSRC="BLAH2" ALTSRC="BLAH3"> is impossible to express in SGML. > what would that provide now that we have OBJECT?
