Argh. A slip with keyboard shortcuts. Sorry.
You are being dogmatic about the alt text to a point of suggesting an
annoying modal dialog. Usually, needing a modal dialog is a bad sign.
Also, your solution does not solve the problem I outlined: It would
allow users to hit enter and other users would conclude that the tool
produces non-conforming markup. Therefore, the toolmaker is unlikely
to do what you suggested.
