The media uploader provides an "Alternate Text" field which populates the
image's "alt" attribute.
The word "alternate" means "to occur in turn repeatedly". This is
incorrect usage of this word.
"alt" is abbreviated from the word "alternative", so this field's label
should read "Alt Text" or "Alternative Text".
