The same text is already in the <figcaption> and screen-readers would read it twice, see jgm#4737

My only concern about this is that some accessibility validation software might complain about the missing alt tag. (I'm not sure about this, though.) I agree that this would improve usability with screen readers. I also agree that ultimately we need to separate alt and caption. (That's the issue for adding a proper figure type.) |
That's why it emits an empty alt tag |

OK, thanks. |

Image attr [] (s,tit)wouldn't work, since this would emit no alt tag which is invalid HTML.
