Can anybody suggest how I can add internationalised alt text to the
<html:img> tag?

If it were legal I would like to do something like the following;

<html:img src="someImage.png" alt="<bean:message
key='someImage.alt.text'/>"/>

but you can't nest tags like this.

If not does anybody think it would be useful to add an optional 'id'
attribute to the <bean:message> tag which, if set, causes the translated
message to be stored in a page context bean with the given name rather than
being written out? This would allow me to write something like;

<bean:message id="altTxt" key="someImage.alt.text"/>
<html:img src="someImage.png" alt="<%= altTxt %>"/>

It would also allow translated strings to be cached in the page if they are
going to be used repeatedly (inside a <logic:iterate> tag, for example).
This may improve performance considerably.

Any comments?
