Michael (Cooper), I notice this bug is currently assigned to you. Is that because you are planning to take some action on it?
No response, so I'm taking the bug. To fix this bug, I will strike the words "alternative" and "also" from the paragraph quoted in comment 0.
Here's the orig paragraph, as comment 0 seems to be blank... “The alt attribute provides the textual label for the alternative button for users and user agents who cannot use the image. The alt attribute must also be present, and must contain a non-empty string.” Needs a rewrite. The alt attribute provides a text equivalent for the image button. Not sure what an “alternative button” is… Proposed change looks fine to me. thanks.
