Verry strict spoken, again IMHO, you are abusing the header to
combine styling you want and the weight given to an h1, and hope that
the alt-text would get the same weight as normal text in the header
would.

It aint a rule and most of it is a gray-area, but that's the way i
feel about it.


But isn't it, from a semantic point of view, exactly that: a header?
Does it bother your visitor?

Semanticaly i would say that a header is text. An image is nothing
more than fancy design. ;)

I mean, can an image be considered a header? I say yes. There are plenty
of examples.

It may well be that it doesn't bother a visitor, but javascript links
don't also, as long as he has it available.

For JavaScript "links" there is a simple solution, see:

(I know you know, I just mention it for others)

As i already wrote, its my point of view, i get an itch about images
in a header, it simply doesn't feel right. But it may as well be the
seven year one. The itch that is.

:-D.

I have a book that uses prime-numbers to number the chapters. I read books
that use an invented writing style.

Here's something I put up for a friend's book years ago - few bits
gone missing over the years but you can get the idea.
