Re: [imc-cms] [Imc-alternatives] indycore page layout suggestion

[boud]

hmmm...

This validator (non-free, but available on the web) seems to pass
samizdat (e.g. belarus.indy) as USA <something-something-legal> Section 508
compliant, except for user generated content written directly in html
which has an img tag without an alt label:
http://www.cynthiasays.com/mynewtester/cynthia.exe

e.g. http://belarus.indymedia.org/  has a user-generated img tag

which is detected as non-compliant.

http://belarus.indymedia.org/8315  is OK.


The w3 validator seems to give the same results
http://validator.w3.org/


i guess the question then is whether or not we should force a default
"alt" attribute into html written by users where they fail to put in 
an alt attribute.  i guess the filename stripped of its suffix should
in general have some chance of being meaningful as an alt attribute?

What does plone do in this case?
