<blockquote> Take for example the multicoloured graphic 'Google' word on
their home page. It has a subtle drop shadow, which although I havent tested
it, probably is less than 5:1 contrast. Raising the contrast of this shadow
would spoil the effect. Does a person with low vision care about being able
to see it? It certainly won't affect their searches. </blockquote>

If an non-link image has a tooltip through the alt attribute then I see no
need to make images follow contrast requirements.
