However, it should also be recognized that the HTML IMG element isn't well designed in the first place. I prefer OBJECT elements, which can be nested, or the XHTML 2.0 SRC attribute, where the element and its content serve as the alternative to the image. The Web needs to move toward better markup language designs. Instead of considering whether this or that accessibility-relevant feature should be deleted from the specification, it would be more interesting, and ultimately of greater benefit to the future of markup languages on the Web, to devise superior solutions, where feasible, which incorporate accessibility naturally and conveniently.
