Many work places block imgur domain so it's pretty relevant indeed - when users browse from such places they'll only see the alternative text as all images will be broken..

As an aside: even IE9 still (erroneously) shows alt-text on mouse hover, unless a (empty) title is present as well.

@MrL, I cannot validate now, but I saw it yesterday in what I think was a valid HTML5 page... But then, IE's F12 developer tools have fooled me before, so maybe it was actually in IE8 or IE7 mode...

Ah, @MrLister, you're right: all is fine in IE8 and IE9, if they're not somehow fooled into the wrong mode. Thanks.
