Thats a great thought Karthik. Even the caption field of facebook allows
doing that but who cares unless it is a mandatory field. If your website is
very clear in terms of making the content accessible, I recommend you to
make it as a required field. Not filling that field will deny uploading the
image. An instruction if possible to the field that says the text should
describe the image will make the pictures having appropriate alternate
text.
