If the user can't read it, then it isn't very accessible is it?

(Noting that long descriptions of images are useful to perfectly
sighted users who have images off but CSS on, and for users who have
trouble making out the details of the image but can turn their font
size up a lot to make out text, and that plenty of people with vision
related handicaps use screen readers (rather then true aural browsers)
which don't read text which isn't displayed), and etc etc etc).
