What I wanted to say, is that for the navigational purposes, it should be
used text rather than images with alt atribute that sould than be like
alt="Image as a link that points to About company". Maybe I'm wrong, and
there is nothing wrong with "image based navigation" that provides
information about link itself thru alternative text. I am thinking like:
"Why sould there be an alternative?"

When talking about other image elements, like site graphics and picturse
(eg. gallery, banners, ads), than alt text is more than welcome
(necesary)...

The alt text should be equivalent. If the user/browser can handle
images then they should get the same information as if they can
not. So where is the discrimination?

The only difference is that people who are in a position to benefit
from the graphical version can do so.
