Brizy not properly support ALT tags

I've posted this before and was pretty much brushed-off by support.

WCAG* requires that purely decorative or ornamental images use an empty alt attribute. However, when no alt text is provided, Brizy injects meaningless content into the rendered HTML. As a result, what should be an empty alt attribute is populated with junk that serves no functional purpose that I can see and degrades the experience for users of audio screen readers.

Brizy's support reply was to put a space in the act tag to eliminate the injected garbage.

A space is not acceptable. The WCAG is very specific about that.

* The WCAG is a guideline on how to build compliant web pages. ADA lawsuits are a thing. Website operators are being sued for sites that are not accommodating to people with one or more diminished senses and/or motor control. And improper alt tabs is low hanging fruit.

This needs to be addressed and fixed as it needlessly hampers building a fully compliant website thus exposing Brizy users to potential lawsuit.
