What's the point? Users who rely on alt attribute know that already, and
unless exactly that phrase is required by the specification (= bad for
i18n), it won't be any use for bots either.
I think presence of the title attribute (which might be empty) could be
required if alt is omitted:
<img title="" src="canyon.jpg">
or maybe:
<img alt="-" src="canyon.jpg">
and role of <img src="canyon.jpg"> should be left undefined, allowing UAs
to use heuristics to guess it.
