RE: Blank alt attributes for images - best practise?

for

From: FOX, Jake

Just a suggestion but there are examples where images have used alt="*" for
similar situations.

This at least provides some content in the alt tag and doesn't seem as if
anything's missing that should be there.

It implies that the tag was meant to be left empty as opposed to being left
empty accidentally.


would like to hear everyone else's views on this...

-Jake.
