Yes. Some graphical browsers (Netscape >= 4.0, maybe IE) show the alt
text in a tool tip. I find this behaviour seriously annoying.

Are there any text browsers which need the extra link? After all the URL
is already embedded in the <img> tag and it is up to the browser to
enable the user to identify, retrieve and possibly display the image.
Lynx and w3m both do this.
Also "[IMAGE]" isn't very descriptive, as somebody alse noted already.

Right.

Unfortunately lynx needs it (I haven't tested the latest version, though).
Other text borwsers, such as w3m don't need it.

You are right (and he). The idea was that if you need some kind of "anchor"
that shows where the image is, it should be different from the surrounding
text.
Exception: If the image itself is text that should be among the regular
text (the image could be some weird font, a logo or whatever) then the
alt-tag should be regular text as well.
Eg:
This <img src="latexlogo.gif" alt="LaTeX"> tutorial is great.

You can toggle "show inline images as links" with "*". Don't know if
this is a new feature.

It's been in there for a few years. It was around back before the Asian economy
collapsed.
