Does this mean that the engine would automagically
show a toolTip with the content of the 'alt' attribute
? That would be excellent.
 
Another improvement would be to make the 'img' tag
XML-compatible, by giving us a closing tag and placing
the 'hidden' characters in between :
  <p>te<img src="foobar.gif">s</img>t</p>

My two eurocents,
