I'm not an HTML expert, but I thought that you could specify in a
header which version of the language you were using, and the browser
should render it according to that standard?

It would be a bad standard if it required everyone to change all
their old pages every time the standard changed.

Anyway, the python code is already aware that alt tags might be
missing, perhaps in violation of the HTML standard; the question
is what to do in that case?  You've got a completely free hand for
rendering illegal HTML, so you might as well pick something useful.
