* Made ALT a synonym for VALUE in INPUTs with TYPE="image" to cooperate
  with well-intentioned (though misinformed) providers who use ALT instead
  of VALUE for the benefit of text clients or GUIs with image handling
  turned off. - FM
* Modified the code for submission of form content with TYPE="image" NAME-ed
  INPUTs that have a VALUE (or ALT) to "fake" a 0,0 coordinate pair, as when
  a VALUE (or ALT) is absent, instead of sending a single name=value pair.
  Requests that using a name=value pair in such cases to indicate that the
  submission was from a text client or GUI with image handling turned off
  be included in the HTML specifications keep falling on deaf ears, so we
  may as well "fake" something closer to what the CGI scripts are expecting,
  and hope that the script interprets 0,0 as an indicator that the user did
  not see the image and make a conscious choice within it.
* Added code to offer a link for the SRC of the image in INPUTs with
  TYPE="image", distinct from the submit button, when clickable images
  is on. - FM
* Updated the "HTML Forms" section of the Users Guide. - FM
* Fixed a typo in the parsing of Cache-Control MIME headers and META
  directives. - FM
