incipient bug report: alt text is often NOT ready by JAWS. Peter to study how these images are tagged in the HTML from Alexandria, Virginia: (a) the 2015 memorial image in the infobox comes in "right" for JAWS which can identify it as an image ; (b) the "alt text" for the image of the 1878 map is not being read and the image is not identified as an image to JAWS. Zack wanted to use the "G" function in JAWS to get to the next image but could not.
Used altedit.py program to put alt-text labels on images
incipient bug report: Altedit.py seemed to have a problem when one tried to save new alt text from IE when not logged in to Wikipedia. "Key error" or something like that came up. The text was not saved.
