This seems fine. 

I do wonder whether 'alt' is appropriate -- 'alternative' begs the question of 
'alternative to what?' and the answer is a technical detail that most Internet 
users are blissfully unaware of. It seems to me that it'd be better to choose 
something meaningful to users.

That said, I struggle to suggest anything specific, and we have plenty of 
examples of seemingly-relative names still working in practice -- e.g., 'New 
York.'  

Cheers,
