[thelist] Is supressing the incorrect display of alt text in IE a good thing

Just out of personal interest :) No one  (my clients, my boss etc)
asked me to do it.
The idea popped up in my mind last week and I wanted to have fun.
In addition you can change the "long enough" to "instanteneous" by
editing the registry.
(Yes I want to make ALT attribute work properly for techie-maniacs who
are able to edit registry and change the tooltip delay but unaware of
standards-aware browsers such as Mozilla :)) )
Just for fun, as I said :)

I thought something else to test image support, should PPK's image
support test fails.
(Though, his implementation seems sound enough)
PPK also complains about uncessary HTTP requests of the method and
that he does not like it but he has to do it none the less.

I plan to use something like:

<!-- somewhere at the bottom of the page-->
<div id="CheckImageTop"></div>
<div><img src="/images/spacer_of_some_height.gif" /></div>
<div id="CheckImageBottom"</div>

Then take the offset height difference of CheckImageTop and
CheckImageBottom layers.

Cheers,
