| Title | Validity error: illegal attribute |
|---|---|
| Description | An XHTML file that is well-formed but not valid because the dd elements have an alt attribute, which is not allowed on these elements.
It is not clear how assistive technology responds to this; possibly, the alt attributes are ignored.
