Thanks for the bogosity alert. (You didn't read the group much before
posting. It is frequently explained in this group why XHTML is almost always
useless as the delivery format of web pages and why using the transitional
version is even more pointless.)

You don't know what the alt attribute means. Read a book on HTML, or at
least a primer. Then perhaps the great monography on alt attributes:

No, it's just your illusion.

Of course. Except that it says "shall", not "should".

You should stop working on web pages before you understand the basics,
including the alt attribute.
