I think your point about ensuring that the presentation of objects in the accessibility tree does not confuse users into thinking that they have interactivity options they don't have is an important one. Users have expectations about what you can do with an image node in an accessibility tree. Having said that: 1. On the one hand, why can't we distinguish between ordinary images and video posters in the accessibility tree to reflect any differing available functionality? 2. On the other, why shouldn't a UA offer the ability functionality specific to poster images, such as a "Open poster image in New Tab" context menu item? I think UAs are free to do what they want here. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
