-		<p>The <code>picture</code> element has an alternate text (<code>alt</code>) attribute. The <code>alt</code> attribute MUST be handled according to the <a>techniques for providing useful text alternatives for <code>img</code> elements</a> exactly the same way as the <code>alt</code> attribute on the <code>img</code> element.</p>
-		<p>In order to fall back gracefully, the <code>alt</code> attribute and its value should be repeated on the child <code>img</code> element.</p>
+		<p>The <code>picture</code> element relies on fallback content as representative alternate text, rather than calling for an <code>alt</code> attribute on both the parent <code>picture</code> element and the fallback <code>img</code>. This provides a method for specifying short alternative text without requiring authors to specify an identical attribute on both <code>picture</code> and the fallback <code>img</code>, with the potential to reach the greatest number of end users without requiring a redundant effort on the part of authors.</p>

+		The <code>alt</code> attribute MUST be handled according to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html-alt-techniques/#secm1">techniques for providing useful text alternatives for <code>img</code> elements</a> no different from <code>alt</code> attributes on <code>img</code> elements outside of the <code>picture</code> context.</p>
 		<p>The <code>alt</code> attribute is NOT permissible on <code>source</code> elements. If the alternate text description of a <code>source</code> element differs from other <code>source</code> elements, it would suggest that the listed sources are not different versions of the same image, but are likely to be different images entirely.</p>
