[themes] Alt text with preg_replace for accessibility

[Mark Hope]

Thanks Ross,
I'll give the new preg_replace a go.

I've already explained to the client that there is no need for a text 
only site, as the design is xhtml/css and already accessible.
She only has limited knowledge of the subject and is being fairly 
insistent, so I'm implementing it anyway.

Cheers
Mark
