I don't think we need "a signal that the image is significant but in
lack of alternative text" as:

1. Developers can already distinguish images that are not significant
by adding @alt and images that are significant by omitting @alt.
2. AT interested in exposing images that might be significant to end
users already need to expose images with missing @alt.
