/ Claus Rasmussen <claus@arsdigita.com> was heard to say:

|
| <mediaobject>
| <imageobject>
| <imagedata fileref="../images/rp-flow.gif" format="GIF" align="center"/>
| </imageobject>
| <textobject>
| <para>This is an image of the flow in the Request Processor</para>
| </textobject>
| </mediaobject>
Yes. If you want alt-text, change the <para> to <phrase> in <textobject>.
If textobject contains para or other block-level elements, the stylesheets
assume that it's inappropriate for an alt attribute.
