Comment (by joedolson):

 > So, yes, the intent of this ticket would be to import Alt Text instead
 of Caption/Description when Alt Text is present. We want to import /
 preserve the Extended Description from the image metadata in Word Press so
 users can add it to the web using their preferred approach from the w3c
 guidance.

 This isn't an either/or situation - there's no reason not to import
 caption/description because the alt text is present. These are all
 separate fields in WordPress.

 The ticket will add support for importing alt attribute values when
 provided, but make no changes to how existing captions and descriptions
 are handled.
