Add a rule to detect and throw error for empty image alt text:

![](/path/to/image)

Add corresponding tags for image (and accessibility?).

The new rule makes sense, thanks!

However, I do not think I understand your last sentence. Can you explain, please?

Super, thanks!

Regarding the last sentence: if it makes sense, I thought this rule could also use some new tags that don't yet exist in the https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint#tags list.
