Yep, it doesn't have an effect if the IMG is within <A></A>.  That's
intentional afaik, there needs to be *something* or the anchor will
be "hidden" (not selectable).  And we don't want links to disappear
just because the author didn't care about adding an ALT attribute.

But are you asking as a user or as an author?  If the second, use
ALT="".
