EVALUATION
Important for accessibility.

There are two ways to resolve this:
- Put a <MAP title="xxx"> element around each piece of ASCII art,
similar to that recommended for grouping links in a navigation bar
- Replace the ASCII art with an image <IMG src="inherit.gif" alt="xxx">
The second approach would also make the appearance better, a long-needed
enhancement.

I vote C. I'd *definitely* distinguish extended and implemented. I agree
that the "is" seems unnecessary, but I could go either way on it.

Conclusion for alt text:
interface "implemented by" class
interface "extended by" interface
class "extended by" class

Decided to create a resources directory in the destination directory
to hold non-HTML files that come from the source tree resources directory,
such as inherit.gif and stylesheet.css. Equivalent to what is used in
the MIF Doclet.
