Point fully taken when the image is a link. Thanks for stating the obvious!

I guess that an image that's used for purely decorative purposes should be labelled "horizontal divider" or similar so that you don't have to spend a lot of time figuring out whether it's important or not.

In the absence of Alt text, what does a blind person get? With a text to speech device, if it's a link do you get the address it links to? If so, that seem to make a case for descriptive file names too (a habit I prefer anyway, if only to save my own confusion)
