I'm rejecting the PR for WSRP admin since I believe that CSS-background, non-semantic images shouldn't have an alt description attached to them. It would only add noise and actually be detrimental to accessibility.
See http://christianheilmann.com/2009/02/25/so-how-do-you-add-alternative-text-to-background-images/ for more information on this.
