When you put your logo on a page, why is it a necessity to make sure even
people who cannot, or have chosen not to see it, know that it is an
image? Better to provide some alt text which conveys the same message,
albeit in a less expressive form, than to remind these people of their
disability or decision to browse without images.
You're focusing on the mechanics of document building, and in doing so
revealing the grimy underworks to your visitors. Alt text is a fallback,
not a placeholder, so designed that disabling images impairs the
document's overall meaning and purpose as little as possible.
