Didnt the last MyDoom virus take various email munging tacticts into 
account? Like foo_AT_com, foo at com, etc.?

The spammers likely will do too.

If you leave out ALT, what about visually impaired people? How do 
their screen readers read gifs? (and if screen readers somehow are 
made to do the required OCR, spammers then could too).
