<img src="image-x50px-y50px" alt="this is some alt text that is rather 
quite long">


If we were to hide the image and show the alt text while maintaining the 
box sizing, what becomes of the overflow?

Normally when images are disabled, a box expands (vertically I believe, 
never really tested) to contain all the alt text.
