website, inlinemediaobject 'bug'?

<imageobject>
      <imagedata align="left" fileref="ubraille.png" format="PNG"/>
    </imageobject>
    <textobject>
           <phrase>alt text</phrase>
    </textobject>
      </inlinemediaobject>


The resulting HTML shows as:

<span class="inlinemediaobject">
<img src="ubraille.png" align="left" 
alt="&#xA;  &#xA;  alt text &#xA;"></span



In Firefox (Linux host if that makes a difference) the alt text doesn't 
show.

I can't tell if Access Technology can still get hold of it?

Is this docbook (which I think it is) or website?
Who introduces the two newlines... is there any reason for them?

Currently using 1.69.1
(Yes, I'm miles behind Bob :-)



TIA
