Comment (by thatdevgirl):

 Another thought: Alt text is not always required, but that is only true if
 the image is purely decoration (which is usually not the case). Perhaps a
 checkbox could be added saying "yes, this image really is for decoration
 only. it doesn't need alt text" - just to force the user to acknowledge
 that alt text is necessary (most of the time).
