I haven't actually seen a lot of users who view websites with images disabled; I think that's a very small demographic, if at all. Really, when I say "for users with images disabled," I'm actually talking about software; either search engines or for visually impaired readers, where websites are actually described to them via text-to-speech software. In our example, the software can easily interpret a simple text link. As you can imagine, images are much harder for software to understand, and are at a disadvantage as a result.

Perhaps I missed something in the explanation. When ‘text-indent’ is used, doesn’t this defeat the purpose of providing for users that have images turned off?
