You could have a property on the text box like this:
{ text-replaced-by: image; }
or
{ text-replaced-by: svg }
That way, UAs that understood the property would only show the text
part when images or svg or whatever was not available. And UAs that
didn't understand it would still show the text. Then you could combine
it with existing text-indent hacks too, making it no worse than
today's UAs.
