Messing around with a statically generated site can easily lead into a
web/browser spec rabbit hole. And... that's when I remember exactly why
everything ends up written outside the browser's framework into a
{{< abbr js javascript >}} framework. I think Firefox is still the only browser
that allows easily setting
[image fallback styling](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img#attr-alt)
completely with just {{< abbr CSS "Cascading Style Sheets" >}}?
