It may give the file name of the graphic. I feel that a blind user should know when graphics are there, so he does not appear ignorant to a sighted user. Likewise, a blind user should know about the presence of other visual elements, and a deaf user should know about sound elements. I don't want to seem like a fool to my sighted colleagues.
