I noticed that Message-ID: <m92p9111cv6i67o5p804otquuhiapaqs9j@4ax.com>
from nemo contained the following:

alt text should be used to display any content contained in an image for
the benefit of aural browsers. The idea of having a standard text is a
nonsense. Where the image contains no content (just decoration as in
this case) the correct form is alt="".

Well no, you wouldn't need to.
