* I agree, it is a hard bar; however, I do think we need "placeholder" text 
that discourages the limitation of developing content to "what is now" so 
that any retro or redesign needed to support evolving technology isn't 
financially inaccessible.

SC Level 1, a and b.  For an image button containing text, the alt text
    should match the text in the image. SC 1a says that for graphical
    buttons, the text alternative should describe the purpose or function of
    the button. Does alt text that matches the text in the image button meet
    this success criteria?
