Comment (by henry.wright):

 @swissspidy for the record, I'm leaning towards agreeing with you.
 Considering the images are already described by the surrounding text,
 screen readers will already have the info they need. Implementing my patch
 might even clutter the audio (the text could be read aloud twice).
