Quoting Alexey Feldgendler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I'm not speaking about <img> with specified but empty alt -- this one is certainly presentational, and it's OK to require explicit alt="" for this case. I'm speaking about <img> with totally omitted alt, which is currently invalid. I propose to allow it and have the user agent derive some information from the image URL. This will better reflect the real world situation: many authors actually omit alt (which results in an invalid page) when they actually should have written it.
HTML5 is not about making the world valid. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
