Question - <img role="img" src="someimage.png" alt="ok alternative">

Hi,

<img role="img" src="someimage.png" alt="ok alternative">

I wanted to gain reaction from the ACT TF with regard to this piece of code.  Assume the alt text is a verified ok alternative description for the image.

The question being – does this element have a valid or invalid mechanism for calculating an Accessible Name (with regard to a strict interpretation of aria, with no heuristic guessing)?

Very interested to hear thoughts / comments

Alistair
