Scratch that. we do have a failure for CSS images that convey important information ... http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140408/F3 hear Jonathan say that wai-aria doesn't change the situation for the current failure, because it doesn't solve it for low vision users who turn off background images... some have been proposing in different circles a div with a label would be sufficient.
