One is floated left, one is floated right, and they sit on top of a repeated background image. This lets the entire header smoothly scale to the width of the viewport. Since the two images are just pieces of a complete header image, the alt text should only show up once. I just put the alt on the first image and use alt="" on the second, but it would be nice to have a canonical answer to this. Note: I am *perfectly fine* with not introducing a new element or new attributes. I feel that just putting an alt text on one of the images and leaving the others blank is sufficiently semantic. However, I do believe that this is a useful case to address in the alt text guidelines. ~TJ
