I wonder why alt is a required attribute for IMG in HTML while an
empty value is allowed.
Because an empty value means that there is no alternate text and no
attribute at
all means that alternate text is missing. (Which is clearly not what you

The same could be said about title="", for example:
"An empty value means that there is no title, and no attribute at all
means that the title is missing." But HTML doesn't declare the title
attribute as required.
