Possible improvement for DITA 2.0

[Radu Coravu <radu_coravu@sync.ro>]

Hello,

One of our users uses in topics DITA <image> elements with @keyref in 
order to be able to switch between different target images.
But she also needs to set alternate text for each image. And when 
changing the @keyref on the image she also wants the alternate text to 
change based on the new target image.
How about if we allow defining the <alt> element in the <topicmeta>:

>   <keydef keys="myImage" href="images/Chrysanthemums.jpg">
>     <topicmeta>
>       <alt>Alternate text</alt>
>     </topicmeta>
>   </keydef>

so that when an image has a @keyref pointing to the definition, the 
<alt> element can be inherited from there if not directly specified 
inside the <image>?

Regards,
Radu
