You might prefer to use the more ambiguous optional alt text and ask the user how to present the data each time. I have no idea if that is correct, someone who relies on a screen reader will have to enlighten me. But don't assume my motives. So far as I can tell, our priorities are the same.

If I had to answer yes/no (or please y/n in Terminal browsers) if I wantto see code blocks every time, that'd quickly get annoying. I'd ratherjust hide them all, Alt-text or not, and expand them with a key presswhen I reach one I want to read. This key press would expand thecurrently focused block, not all of them, of course.
