Comment (by afercia):

 Replying to [comment:116 celloexpressions]:
 > - Seeing as we have clickable placeholders, and #34323 is still
 unresolved, we need an accessibility review
 Uh, apparently I missed that. Can't see a clickable placeholder,
 @celloexpressions could you please guide me a bit? :)

 Some additional issues:
 - this point from my previous comment is still unresolved: "Usability:
 there are no instructions that, when clicking on an image preview, users
 can change the media". It would be a nice improvement to do something
 similar to what the featured image meta box does.
 - image preview: ti's a clickable `<img>` element so it won't be listed as
 an interactive control by assistive technologies. The featured image meta
 box instead, wraps the image in a link which is not ideal but it's better
 - image: WordPress doesn't set the title attribute on images, I'm not sure
 why the media widget should do that. Also, in the last months we've been
 removing title attributes all over the places since they don't add any
 great value. I'd suggest to don't use title attributes
