Dear All,

I'm having difficulties trying to help a colleague solve the thorny issue of
what to put on Alt tags as part of a massive redesign to make our Company
site ultra accessible. I've seen this issue discussed countless times and
thought it was all clear and simple, but not so! Please see the email below.
Basically, we can't decide on the appropriate level of detail to include,
especially as we want to show the keyboard short cuts in the Alt tags as
well. I'd appreciate any comments you might have.

Many thanks in advance.
