I was originally just making an off-the-cuff hostile remark about IMG, but the more i think about it the more I dislike them pesky and restrictive alt attributes!
They are, for one, backwards compatible. (Even though originally they weren't.) Note that <image> can't be used anyway. It's parsed like <img>.
