I'm not sure having types which are optional, is too good of an idea, but otherwise it's nice...what if I happen to have an alt text like "code red" on some art piece? accessible clients would read nonsense...

also don't really see the point/reasoning of the "text" type there, if it's not code nor art, what is it?monospace text for no reason? maybe just "misc" category then? accessibility-wise you can just avoid art, so that doesn't seem to be much reason for a text type...

also maybe allow one-letter shorthand types? kinda like [a[rt]|c[ode]|t[ext]], use either "c hello.lua" or "code hello.lua"not much practical value, but it allows one to only check the first character and skip to alt-text, if wanted (or ignore anything other than first 4 characters on that line)
