The "Guidance for conformance checkers" section of the spec is indeed more

Thank you for making it a list.

But the substantive parts of this bug were not addressed. 

Adding TrackerIssue Keyword.

This bug is part of the change proposal, "Replace img Guidance for
Conformance Checkers" for HTML WG Issue 31.

WAI CG Consensus Resolutions on Text alternatives in HTML 5 specifically

<img> is only valid when at least one of the following is true:

 * @alt is present (empty or non-empty) OR
figcaption> OR
 * @role="presentation"

It also states they would not oppose creation of a 'autogenerated' and
'missing' attributes.


You are on the CC list for the bug.
