	That inadequacy is redressed by what is currently named OBJECT:

<OBJECT data="about-uofl.gif"><H1>About U of L</H1></OBJECT>

That markup reportly has been implemented in grail (though I haven't
tried that GUI).  Lynx will use the content, and thus display the
header, whereas grail should use the image and ignore the content.

	You also could use:
	
<FIG SRC="about-uofl.gif"><H1>About U of L</H1></FIG>

with Lynx for the text, and Arena, UdiWWW, Emacs-WWW or Traveler
as the GUI.  However, according to the W3C, that's HTML 3.0 which
was not implemented by clients, and as of Black Tuesday has become
rogue.
