--- Comment #1 from Derk-Jan Hartman <hartman.w...@gmail.com> ---
We have had many discussion about this in the past. I think in the past we
concluded that it was better to set the alt this way (also because we actually
have quite descriptive filenames quite often). I also remember some discourse
on that though.
It definitely should NOT be empty alt. Part of the reasoning was if I remember
correctly, that alt='' means an active acknowledgment of the fact that it is an
image does not even require an alt text. Which is not the case for these 'auto
generated' alts. At most we should then simply not define an alt at all.
Anyway, there should be a couple of closed tickets discussing this very topic,
and a slew of en.wp discussion somewhere on this.
