But the current web is not solely a text-based medium. Maximum
accessibility for both assistive technology and search
engines/alternative user agents means that images that are purely
presentational should not be in the markup - the presentation layer is
where they belong. So sane or not, hiding  or replacing text with CSS
is effective, as Russ's research proves, and popular, as the current
crop of showcase CSS sites demonstrate. It's certainly the approach
that I favour.



Yeah... Russ, thank you for information!
