<div>
<pre>Currently, if a page has an <img src="blah.svg" alt="blah"> (with an SVG as the src), Safari/VoiceOver completely skips the image and doesn't announce the alt attribute text. Only low-impact solution I found was explicitly adding role="img" - this then makes VO behave correctly <img src="blah.svg" alt="blah" role="img">
Expected: regardless of whether it's an SVG, PNG, or whatever, the <img> should not be skipped/ignored by VO and the alt should be announced, even without role="img"</pre>
