What about using non-null alt attributes with WAI-ARIA's
role="presentation"? In theory that would mark images as
"nonessential", but would also provide descriptions for anyone who
wanted them. In practice, I have no idea. Maybe someone else can
report on how major screen readers deal with presentation roles on
images?
