I would love an open image format that has alt text baked into the file format and can be read by other apps.

I'd love to see writing alt text done closer to the source, with an ability to customize the existing description for more specific descriptions by other people using the image.

@slimepsychic The SVG format for vector images (with bitmap embedding possible) has title elements for accessibility: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/title

<title> — the SVG accessible name element - SVG: Scalable Vector Graphics | MDN

The <title> element provides an accessible, short-text description of any SVG container element or graphics element.
