Two things that may be worth consideration:
1. The possibility of responsive text alternatives that could parallel the
responsive images if needed. The <picture> proposal allows for different
sources for images at different sizes. But authors could use different images
at different sizes and not just a cropped down version of a single image. No
text alternative mechanism is provided for that use case. Allowing alt on
<source> could provide for that use case. Something like the following might
work:
<picture>
<source src="mobile.jpg alt="text alternative">
<source src="medium.jpg" alt="text alternative" media="min-width: 600px">
<source src="fullsize.jpg" alt="text alternative" media="min-width: 900px">
<img src="mobile.jpg" alt="text alternative">
</picture>
2. A picture element could allow for semantic programmatically determinable
in-page rich text long description, if a description element was added to the
proposal:
<picture>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="text alternative">
<desc>structured rich text description with headings, lists, tables,
etc.</desc>
</picture>
