755 PointsQuestionable use of alt and headings
Having done quite a bit of accessibility work and research, I disagree with how the alt attribute is being used in the example, as well as the h3. Headings are supposed to be for document outlines, and here it feels like it is being used for styling, which is absolutely not correct. The alt attribute would have been better used to as "product sketch" or not read by the screen reader at all (as it doesn't add anything that isn't already in the widget description text). If it contains useful content, using the <figure> and <figcaption> elements with more detailed information with the more abbreviated alt attribute seems more appropriate.
