Surely you cannot dispute http://www.w3schools.com/ for the basics. Even
after all of these years. The fundamental concepts work.
I wouldn't trust w3schools.com (note that it has nothing to do with
the W3C) after looking at their HTML tutorial:
<http://cfajohnson.com/torontowebdesign/w3schools/>
You say (on that page):
The alt attribute is mandatory, not just "good practice".
It's not, you know. For decorative images, it's not even recommended.
Try validating a page that has an IMG without an ALT attribute! The
attribute may be empty, but it MUST be there.
