Hi Sam,

Just checking in to let you know we've released an enhancement for image caption handling for cleaner, more optimized accessibility. When an image caption is provided, we no longer set it automatically as the default alt text when the alt text is not defined.

However, we are keeping the <aria-labeledby> to support a wider range of screen readers & browser combinations. It appears that there is mixed support for the <figure> tag, where it's not always tied to the <figcaption>. Explicitly having an <aria-labeledby> ensures we keep its semantic meaning. 

Let us know what you think! Cheers!

Marvie
