Re: role="text" and text frames

All,

Here's another data point.  I tried the <img> example from the spec with 
Safari, namely:

<p>I <img src="icon.gif" alt="love" role="text"> New York.</p>

In terms of the a11y tree, the paragraph contains three accessibles, all 
with a static text role (AXStaticText).  There is no image accessible in 
the tree.

Reading by character and arrowing through the text, VoiceOver reads 
"I",  "love", "N", "e", "w", "space", and so on.  That is, it treats the 
string "love" as a single character.
