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.'
