I'm interested in your opinion on the BBC example (alt="A woman wears a full-length veil in Lyon, 25 January") and whether the date strictly belongs in there. The date, after all, is not information that can be gleaned from the image. Should alt attributes really contain *additional* information? Good advice.

They continually want to stuff them full of irrelevant keywords. Some people still don't understand the importance of accessibility.
