[Bug 22930] img with empty alt don't need to have own item

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22930

--- Comment #1 from alexander surkov <surkov.alexander@gmail.com> ---
some background: Firefox exposes image accessible regardless @alt attribute so
it doesn't equivalent to role="presentation". the only difference is if the
image has empty @alt attribute and accessible name is not specified otherwise
(like @title attribute) then accessible name is null (what means AT shouldn't
try to fix it).

that's why I think we don't need to have two items. Probably all we need is to
mention this feature in img name computation part like if @alt is presented and
empty value and name is not provided otherwise then name is null (AT shouldn't
try to repair it).

or alternatively we can add an item like:

IA2/MSAA column:
Name: if @alt attribute is presented but empty and no name provided otherwise
then name is NULL, return value is S_FALSE.

Sounds good? Which one do you like more?
