It just can't be the ONLY approach available at that alternate.

Actually, it can... just not at the time of filing. If your alternate
has another approach (say an ILS), making it legal for filing as an
alternate, and when things go south, their ILS also dies, you can still
legally FLY their GPS approach, or an approach requring NDB or DME
(except an NDB approach). To fly their NDB approach you'd need the
emergency authority.

Emergency authority? Let me understand this, you couldn't get into your
destination, bugged out to your alternate, discovered that the ILS there
went TU, and you're still worrying about what some lawyer thinks?
