In my understanding it would not pass the requirement - the content is intimately tied to its presentation either as a bitmap or as an attribute value. (I don't think it is very clear in the current draft that an attribute value is not an acceptable substitute for real content, nor why. But i think this is a matter of refining the success criteria rather than a fundamental change to the checkpoint).
