While exploring the standards compliance/XHTML/HTML issue,
I was surprised by the variation in the display of Alt text.
On the small sample, the XHTML/HTML did not seem to make a
jot of difference.

I'm not quite sure what correlation you're trying to find here...the doctype an
author uses and the default behaviour of browsers should be two completely
separate things.

Patrick,
In the strawpoll, I set out to guage the level of Browser/Platform support and
compliance for compliant XHTML and HTML4 webpages.
I thought XHTML/HTML may have been a variable in how webpages look and behave
in different browsers. The sample on the above page is by no means complete.
Along the way, I was surprised by the variation in how the Alt text is
displayed. My interest in the Alt text is in being able to provide visitors
(who are perhaps using a mobile phone) with fully functional text only webpages.
I am not sure if the variety of handling of Alt text effects accessibility via
screen readers etc.
