Comment (by afercia):

 > I'm also changing this ticket back to an enhancement ticket, because
 that's really what it is. There isn't a bug being fixed by this ticket,

 I'm sorry I have to say I'm pretty uncomfortable with this. I appreciate
 the technical discussion happening in the latest comments but, whatever
 the technical decision is, the point is this ticket is waiting since
 months. It was already punted for 5.2 After that, the media team had more
 than 6 months to explore and refine a new solution. I'm surprised nothing
 relevant was done in such a long time period.

 Now, moving it back to "enhancement" implies a couple things:
 - It needs to be fixed by Monday (Beta 1 is September 23rd): that's only 4
 days from now (2 work days) and it's unlikely to happen.
 - As said in a previous comment: anything related to the `alt` attribute,
 which is a so basic accessibility feature, is considered a bug from the
 accessibility team. The ticket type was changed to "bug" after a decision
 of the accessibility team that discussed this ticket during the latest
 bug-scrub. Changing it back to "enhancement" without at least a cross-team
 discussion is a bit unfair and frankly doesn't help cross-teams
 collaboration.
