Testing in VoiceOver on Mac OS X 10.5:

A role="note" element is expected to have text or element children. Thus if you
have 
<p role="note">Foo</p>, 
then VoiceOVer reads "Foo".

Wheras for an <img role="note" alt="Foo">, then there are no text or element
children, and thus VoiceOver just stops reading.

Whereas if you have <img alt="Foo."> or <img role="img" alt="Foo.">, then "Foo"
is read.
