Since alt text use is obviously unclear and these threads get read quite a bit, here's another example of HTML5 alt text according to the spec above. (Draft 5, Mar 2011)

A screenshot in a gallery of screenshots for a new OS, with some alternative text: <figure> <img src="KDE%20Light%20desktop.png" alt="The desktop is blue, with icons along the left hand side in two columns, reading System, Home, K-Mail, etc. A window is open showing that menus wrap to a second line if they cannot fit in the window. The window has a list of icons along the top, with an address bar below it, a list of icons for tabs along the left edge, a status bar on the bottom, and two panes in the middle. The desktop has a bar at the bottom of the screen with a few buttons, a pager, a list of open applications, and a clock."> <figcaption>Screenshot of a KDE desktop.</figcaption> </figure>
