website, inlinemediaobject 'bug'?

    <imageobject>
      <imagedata align="left"
fileref="ubraille.png" format="PNG"/>
    </imageobject>
    <textobject>
           <phrase>alt text</phrase>
    </textobject>
      </inlinemediaobject>


The resulting HTML shows as:

<span class="inlinemediaobject">
<img src="ubraille.png" align="left" 
alt="&#xA;  &#xA;  alt text
&#xA;"></span



In Firefox (Linux host if that makes a difference) the alt
text doesn't 
show.

I can't tell if Access Technology can still get hold of it?

Is this docbook (which I think it is) or website?
Who introduces the two newlines... is there any reason for
them?

Currently using 1.69.1
(Yes, I'm miles behind Bob 



TIA

AFAIK, Firefox does not show alt text unless using
view->source

Show where?  Are you right-clicking on the image and viewing
its
properties?  If so, the alt text is there, but you'll need
to scroll the
single-line 'Alternate text' field to see it.  Also, if the
referenced
image file were unavailable, the alt-text would appear in
place of the
image.

If you were expecting the text in a 'tool-tip', then firefox
does not
use image 'alt' text for that -- it *will* display the value
of 'title'
attr (allowed on most HTML elements, unlike img's 'alt') in
tool-tip
style.

Right click on the image, the alt text normally shows as
properties.

Which IMHO is a docbook issue.
The two newlines weren't put there as part of the source
XML.

I'm curious if there is a reason for adding them or if it's
an oversight.
