By "entirely omitted alt", do you still only mean WYSIWYG editors? If
not, I agree. The distinction would be as follows:
(1) <img src="obvious.jpg" alt="obvious"> - This image represents text,
particularly the word "obvious". Lynx should replace it with the word
"obvious" and do nothing else.
(2) <img src="gallery2.jpg"> The image is part of the content and
doesn't represent text. Lynx should indicate that the image is missing
and offer a way to download it
I'm a bit worried about this one - authors too often forget (or don't
care) to add alt attribute, and this case gives it a different meaning.
I think that for (2) there should be either magic alt value or some way of
specyfing that alt was intentionally omitted, and not forgotten (special
classname? presence of title attribute?).
