Description
The spec. currently only requires the alternative text of the content property to be exposed as speech output.
Though that text is very similar to the alt attribute on <img> elements, which is also displayed.
So maybe there should be a note that UAs might or even should show the alternative text when the image ca't be loaded in addition to exposing it to the accessibility tree.
