The only thing I don't understand is how on earth does a blind person
pick out items that rely on a photograph (clothes etc)...
If you go to Target's home page, you will find, in the left column
what appear to be headlines describing sale and special items. They
are images - and there is no Alt text. Blind people do shop :-).
There are varying degrees of "blindness", too, so someone looking at one
of those images may go, "Oh, wait, is that a red jumper or a parka?"
Alt text can help in that respect, if the user has a good text-to-speech
tool installed.
