Re: [whatwg] Allow alt attribute with the span element

Hi,
    I use an <img> tag with "src=" as 1x1 px transparent png and alt text
followed by a span with aria-hidden="true" which has visually shown
content  and that way i can have proper <img> tag with alt text.


<img
src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII="
alt="clockwise rightwards and leftwards open circle arrows with circled one
overlay" /><span aria-hidden="true">&#x1F502</span>

Thank you,
Ashraf Mohammad
