The last several months I've been trying to include more reasonable
alt text in my images to improve accessibility. The other day I
uploaded a new page and forgot to upload the matching folder
containing the page's images. Here's what I got in Firefox (look
just below the line near the top which says "Featured Images -
Interesting Chairs"):

what's the point and how does it relate to my particular lament?

Mine was meant as a test page for how supplied alt text appears in
different browsers under the various conditions one encounters like
image not available, alt text supplied, not supplied beyond "", not
supplied at all. You can see the parameters via the source.

But perhaps it needs better overt explanation on the web page itself
with comments like "No such image was loaded to the server" etc.

I think that would be very beneficial. You seem to have covered the
possibilities well but it is a little vacuous just looking at it now.

Is this something quite irrelevant to your post?

In he sense that the problem I described wouldn't even show up in your
page, yes.
