Agreed.

Note that Wikipedia's current markup for thumnnail images only use one
alt attribute and it's empty:
<div class="thumb tleft">
<div class="thumbinner" style="width:182px;">
<a href="/wiki/File:Bryggen_(6-2007).jpg" class="image"
title="Bryggen in Bergen is on the list of UNESCO World Heritage
Sites.">
<img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/
The only reason for keeping it is to claim validity wrt. some DTDs.
Personally, I'd rather remove it.
