Dreamwidth Meta

i rated this feature as -3 in its current form because alt attributes are for providing a text equivalent, not a description. in many cases i think icons should have empty alt attributes, because frequently they don't convey any additional information that isn't already in the textual content of an entry or comment (e.g., poster's name for default icons, entry tags for topic icons). i would give this feature a positive rating if the field were renamed 'text equivalent' or something similar and displayed along with a link to guidelines for writing useful alt-text.
