Add alt attribute for locked icon on entries in style=light

Title:
Add alt attribute for locked icon on entries in style=light

Area:
accessibility

Summary:
Right now there's no alt text for the icon that signifies an entry is locked when using style=light.

Description:
When viewing an individual entry while using "style=light", there is an icon over the title of the entry which signifies its security level, such as private, protected or custom.

In most styles, this icon has an alt text. When using "style=light", it does not.

This is an accessibility issue because this icon provides important information about the entry. On one's own entries this information is available at the top of the post in text form, but on an entry belonging to someone else, there is no textual representation of this data. An alt text would make it so that if for some reason (failure to load the image, images turned off, browsers that do not process images at all, etc.) the image is not displayed, the information the image represents is still accessible to the user.

In this instance, there are a lot of issues that could arise from someone mistaking a protected or filtered post for something that was publicly posted.

So my suggestion is to add the proper alt text so that the implementation of this icon on the individual entry pages matches the way it is used on the other pages (like the reading page, or the main journal page).

Correct embedded content from syndicated LJ feeds

Title:
Correct embedded content from syndicated LJ feeds

Area:
RSS

Summary:
Videos seem not to show up correctly in posts that are part of syndicated feeds from LJ.

Description:
When a community on LJ is syndicated here through RSS, any YouTube (and I assume other) videos posted on LJ are not visible on DW (At least to me). For instance:
http://vintage-ads-feed.dreamwidth.org/1360519.html
shows me a blank space (which seems to be the right size) instead of the video in Firefox and Chrome. But when I follow the link back to LJ, the video is shows up just fine in the same browser. And videos in other RSS feeds also show up correctly.
