Ability to style the alt tags would be very nice, I am not aware how
currently the alt tags inherit their properties, is there are rule for it
in CSS or HTML?
Also, the problem as to what to do with a long line would be a problem
only when both img sizes are set to 'auto' (someone may offer a better
property value than auto tho, to imply that alt tag will be used as size
reference). There wouldn't be a problem if the width is set, or limited
with a max-width.
Tho, styling alt tags would be so nice.
Now, my question is, is the content declared in alt is considered a child
of the image? I think not, but if it was, we could style img *, alt would
be included automatically.
