The use of <graphic> isn't recommended.

It's being replaced by

<mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref='file.gif' />
  </imageobject>
</mediaobjetc>

You can get an alt text with:

<mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref='file.gif' />
  </imageobject>
  <textobject>
    <phrase>alt text</phrase>
  </textobject>
</mediaobjetc>


See you,
