There are a lot of use cases for hreflang. Let us think about multi-language countries like Switzerland or Canada. And the whole www is multilanguage happily. Perhaps the English-speaking community sees less need for the attribute, but there are the developers.

1.1.1: What should we tell an author, who states that the background image would have a text alternative, if only SR would do their job? Frustrating!

Perhaps really the browsers should give a hint. We need a fallback mechanism anyway when Stylesheets are disabled.
