Yes but you can't expect every page to work in every accessibility
feature of every browser. There's nothing in the HTML spec I can see
about anything like Opera's View Links feature. It makes no sense on a
www page to target specific boxes of tricks in particular browsers.

But the buttons all look the same. Why should people who don't see the
images get better information than those who do?
This alt text is on the <img> not on the link. It's not "link text", but
"img text". Therefore if there's a problem here it's surely the fact
that the buttons are all the same? If they are all the same, their alt
text might as well be too.
