A person's time is far more It can be rather difficult when the server is a CD-ROM containing an offline copy. In practice there are other problems with server based solutions: - the one technology problem - most authors want to think they are writing a document in a single language, and are prepared to confuse HTML, CSS and EcmaScript, but not server configuration directives; - control of server configuration often belongs with IT departments, whereas control of HTML/CSS/EcmaScript belongs with marketing departments; - the systems on which people learn HTML often are free hosting systems with no access to server configuration. Also, for the final text fallback, it makes it clear that the images replace the text and allows indexing software to index without having to read other documents for text fragments.
