Thanks for the feedback Bèr.

The text replacement usage I mentioned was to (mainly) replace inline 
images inserted with img_assist.
The best practice I was asking about was what text to present to the 
user, having stripped the images using preg_replace.

I'm just beginning to understand the power of theming in Drupal, so 
thanks for your comments below.
