My point is <IMG> which author doesn't specify alternate text has no alternate text and user agents need not (probably `should not') show any other alternate text other than there is image data. > 3. Otherwise, if the included object contains text fields ... > This means all user agents must GET image datas when they fail 1 & > 2. And this requires user agents to analyze image datas too. Really? I > think it's stupid. Sorry, my using `must' and `requires' are my misunderstanding. But I don't still think it's a good idea. I don't think many authors expect that text in image data is treated as alternate text for image. And there are some tools which create image data and set their own text as a comment automatically, and then user agent will show nonsense text. So I don't think user agent should extract text from image data as its alternate text. -- Koga Youichirou <y-koga@ccs.mt.nec.co.jp>
