The challenge is that the @src attribute doesn’t represent ”child 
nodes”. And further, one could argue that @src, just as @alt, is a 
specific img element feature, and that @srec therefore should be 
nullified, when img has presentation role. In my view, this makes 
sense, because the graphic is supposed be presentational for *all* 
users.
