As I say, I'm unsure if it's used… The description could be exposed to Accessibility API. By default, `ImageIcon` uses the URL as the description if it isn't provided:

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/99de9bb83ff70fe81c89751516a86a94c8f552be/src/java.desktop/share/classes/javax/swing/ImageIcon.java#L231-L233

Now that you handle the `alt` attribute, you can pass the description if it's provided.
