True. I actually got the technique from the W3C WAI Web Content
Accessibility Curriculum:
http://www.starlingweb.com/wai/wcag/sam2-0.htm. Quote ...

If the image is linked, you must describe the destination or purpose of
the link -- not the image, e.g.

<A HREF="home.htm">
<IMG SRC="home.gif" ALT="Link to the Home page.">
</A>

Is this technique good for any browser/anybody?
