Where exactly does the spec draw the line on what should apply to alt
text and what should NOT apply to alt text? If it does not draw the line
and if it refuses deliberately to do so, then I think we should not test
stylability of alt text. 'color', 'font-size' may apply (in one or a few
browsers) but other text-related properties (text-transform,
text-indent, letter-spacing, word-spacing) may not (in the same given
list of browsers). There is no given rules, no specified list of
properties.

Is the spec currently NOT specifying how to style alt text? Yes. So why
should we test-target this?
