Charles, some of us - especially those on dialup - disable the
download and display of images for speed reasons. As I understand it,
some browsers will attempt to show an image (leave space for it?) if
there is no alt attribute. Others will not leave space if alt="" is used.

Opera will display "Image" instead of the image if it has no alt text, and
remove the placeholder box entirely - thereby keeping the page
clean-looking - if it includes alt=""
