I wonder if there isn't a better way. One idea is to allow a version of IMG
which takes an end tag. The contents of this element is the textual
description of the image, which can then be displayed by line mode browsers.
A further wrinkle is to allow the use of the <A> element in this text. This
allows you to specify polygonal buttons (using a new poly attribute) and
also to allow users to click them when using line mode browsers. Neat eh!
I hope to explain this in more detail in the new draft of HTML+ (thats if
you folks think it makes sense).
