Comment (by ryan):

 It also means "A person who acts as a deputy or substitute" which is
 obviously the meaning intended when the specs used to say "alternate text"
 everywhere.

 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/objects.html#h-13.8

 These days the specs like to say "text alternatives". Of course this is
 UI, not a spec, so we don't have to use the same language. So, yeah.
