No, my comment was not about _adjacent_ links, but about one link 
containing _both_ text and image(es).

In the current "Understanding" document 
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20051123/Overview.html#navigation-mechanisms-refs>), 
there are techniques listed for

* Providing useful link text

This is about link text in general.

* Providing alternate text for images used as links.

This is about

   <a href="..."><img src="..." alt="..."></a>

i.e. the image is the only child node of the a element.

* Combining adjacent image and text links that point to the same
   resource.

This is about something like

   <a href="foo"><img src="..." alt="..."></a><a href="foo">text</a>


So please reread my proposal at
