Decorative images should be in your style sheet, not the html document. I know this purity isn't always possible with every design, but if you care about blind readers you'll change your design, I guess.

Similar to the discussion around functional CSS [1], HTML vs. CSS is a separation of technologies, not a separation of concerns. Neither approach is _wrong_, they just come with different trade-offs.

Huh? Decoration is for humans and doesn't fit the robotic split of content vs presentation.

Yes? The whole style sheet is for humans. Specifically, sighted humans. Blind users have no use for any of that.
