Right now, the development code does not index anything beyond IMG
ALT attributes. Adding them to other tags would not be very
difficult, though it would be helpful to have a DTD. :-)
I guess we could probably add support for both ALT and TEXT
attributes in the tags that you mention. If you've tried any of the
3.2 snapshots, the patch would be pretty simple because the HTML
parser is a bit easier to modify.
