Still disagree. Concerning icons, the best solution for both usability and
accessibility is to remove the link and leave an empty alt. What should we do
if a general alt text is added ? It would't do any good.

Plus, many decorative thumbnail images contain enough description in the
caption. And, concerning the thumbnails only, alt text should not duplicate the
caption. In those cases, we should only add some short alt text, only to
prevent a screen reader from reading the filename. Again, what should we do if
some longer alt text is added ?
