Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

Re: alt text
Date: 2011-03-23 03:55 am (UTC)Technically, for a long description, the standards say that you should use the longdesc attribute to link to an external page with the transcript. But because longdesc has only partial support (basically, unless you use JAWS you have no access to it, so it's inaccessible to people with other screenreaders or people using visual browsers with images off), the folks at WebAIM suggest using an explicit text link to a transcript page, with or without the same link being provided via longdesc. Then all the alt text has to say is "lolcats comic" or some such.
Thank you so much. And also, the comic is hilarious.
