By which, of course, I *meant* alt="" if it *is*. Sorry - changed
horses in mid-sentence, and didn't spot it in proofreading.

That is hardly ever a meaningful textual replacement for the author's

reinforce the brand (that's why it's a logo, after all).

Sure. Haven't you heard about the "title=" attribute, for supplying
optional additional information about the element to which it's
applied? Doesn't that seem to fit the description of what you
just said that you wanted?
