 The image tags require an `alt` attribute. Leaving it empty as `alt=''` in
 the

 /wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/class-template.php#L400-L402
 get_plugin_icon function] is an option, though. Then when an image is
 linked, either the link would need to include nearby visible text or else
 meaningful alternative text would replace the empty `alt=''`.

 In addition to the Plugin Directory page, this also affects embeds for
 plugins and themes. @alh0319

 dividing plugin and theme embeds)?
