It seems that a native method to add text alternative is equivalent to a method
to add text, which already exists:

    canvas.appendChild(document.createTextNode(alt));

I don't think that there would be any benefit to appending images per se; the
<img> elements would never be seen and the text alternative would be no better
than an actual text node.
