ah yes... the infamous "Until user agents..."

Good thing that the WCAG 2 is in draft eh?

I would only caution then that you might also consider providing the title
attribute along with the alt text in the "hot spots" so that Mozilla based
agents will render the "tool tip" on mouseover.

Outside of that, is anyone aware of a *current* user agent that does not
render text equivalents? Then it becomes a question of how far back in
browser history you choose to support.
