If you leave out the alt attribute in Opera, for example, it creates an
image placeholder that says Image, if you use alt="", it does not. You
would be surprised how many slice and dice sites I've been to that have
Image on them 20 times or more. This is especially true if you turn
images off (and I sometimes do even though I have broadband).
