Hi,
Today I was asked if an img with role="button" can get it's accessible name from an alt attribute, and I don't recall the verdict on this one, though I would not call this a best practice by any means.

Strictly from the core AccName spec, it cannot, but is there logic elsewhere that makes this valid such as the HTML AAM?

Thanks,
Bryan
