In this case I wouldn't have cared to actually add the [dep], would
I? ;)
Seriously speaken it just didn't occur to me that one would think of that
as really harder to scan (and for the non-CSS text browsers it doesn't
makes a difference, anyway). But I see your point.
What do you think about something like
http://packages.debian.net/unstable/graphics/scribus ? I replaced the
[dep] string with the image and put the [dep] into the alt attribute.
It doesn't look really nice because of the linebreak after the image
but I only can change that with CSS.
Gruesse,
