unclear why

<img src="icon.gif" alt="heart" role="text" aria-label="heart">

requires the addition of the aria-label,? when img role is overridden by
other roles alt still works to provide

the accessible name.

also why does the default implicit  role need to be included as fallback,
if role=text is not recognised wouldn't it just default to img?
