Yes, so I think image loading for properties of :alt should be allowed. It
would also allow a webmaster to give the same image a second chance at
loading, or the second-chance image could be more optimized incase the
problem with the first was a server time-out. Each thing you forbid is
another exception to the rule that the web developer has to remember. I'd
rather put the burdeon on the developer of the agent than on all of the web
developers. (Especially since I'm a web developer.)

I like that in addition to the above.
