Description Gunnar Gudvardarson 2007-01-10 20:36:05 UTC 
required attribute "ALT" not specified

having the "ALT" attribute on ALL IMG tags is on some designed website simply ugly when pictures are used to shape a webpage and design the look of the website

alt attribute is required per html specifications. 
For images without meaning, empty alt is generally acceptable.
