If you have images covering content, that seems like a design and usability issue to me ... unless I'm not understanding this correctly.

Subject: [WebAIM] Images That Cover Content

Hi,
I have an instance of this on a page, and it looks wrong for me to fail it for SC 1.3.2, because a screen reader user can read the content. The images are decorative and do not show up for screen readers. What should this fail for?

Thanks.

Jim
