Fix 2: Provide equivalent alternatives

Since text can be rendered visually, as speech, or as braille it helps many users.

In HTML, provide short functional equivalent text with the "alt" attribute:

   <IMG ... alt="Navigation Bar..." >
   <IMG ... alt="Advertising Information" >

   <AREA ... alt="More Articles" >
   <AREA ... alt="Health Topics" >

Provide content for applets:

   <applet code="Lake.class">
     <param name="image" content="lh.gif">
     <img src="lh.gif" alt="Latest News">
   </applet>

Provide long descriptions for complex content (charts, graphs, etc.)
