    <thetext>note:In a conforming document, the absence of the alt attribute indicates that the image is a key part of the content but that a textual replacement for the image was not available when the image was generated.

source: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/embedded-content-0.html#the-img-element

only case where image without alt is conforming is
If the image is a descendant of a figure element that has a child figcaption element and the figcaption contains text.</thetext>
