i know that is stated, but that would be the case for any non image role
used on <img>.

In HTML [1] an img element whose alt attribute's value is present and not
empty has no restrictions on what role can be applied. if for exanple I do
this


<img role="region" alt="poot"> the accessible name for the element still =
poot no?
