BTW. does anyone know a good way of stylistically adding labels to
images? At the moment i'm using:
<p class="image" title="!label!">
<img src="!URI!" alt="!label!"/><span class="label">!label!</span>
</p>
is this right? what do you suggest?

I'd code it this way:
<div id="!id!" class="!class!">
<img src="!URI!" alt=" " />
<span class="caption">!caption!</span>
</div>
I know that the alt tag is required and is "supposed" to provide
content/context to screen readers but, is there any reason to provide
the same content 3 different times? Meaningful alt attributes are in my
opinion for situations when the content/context provided by the image
are not otherwise available to users of adaptive technologies.
I know that some would consider this solution to suffer from "divitis"
but, an image and a caption do not fit my description of a paragraph.
