I can reproduce this problem with KDE 2.2.2 release version. After reloading, 
different images were missing. I also saved the HTML to disk, with none of the 
image files present, and then some of the "broken image placeholders" did not 
show up either.

With the KMOZILLA component there are no missing images, so this is probably 
a KHTML problem rather than a Konqueror problem.

You mean the "tool tip" style pop-ups containing the ALT text? The HTML 4.01 
spec describes the ALT property as follows: "For user agents that cannot 
display images, forms, or applets, this attribute specifies alternate text". 
Since Konqueror can display images, it does not have to show the ALT text. 
However, for interoperability with broken pages out there, it would be nice 
if this feature is added to Konqueror. You could enter it in the bug database 
under "wishlist", if it is not there already.

The table tag cannot exist inside a paragraph. Therefore, as soon as KHTML 
encounters "<TABLE>", it will stop the paragraph that was centered and start 
displaying the table in the usual left-aligned fashion. Since the page is 
broken, any rendering could be considered correct.
