Let's clarify things here.
The alt attribute MUST be used on:
* <area  alt="..." shape="..." coords="..." href="..." />
* <area  alt="..." shape="..." coords="..." nohref="nohref" />
* <img   alt="..." src="..." />
* <input alt="..." src="..." type="image" />

All other tags MUST NOT have the alt attribute.
(Except for <applet></applet>, but that's deprecated.)
