Wasn't "the contents" the same as "the text" at one time? I was sure  
it was so, but I just tested it and "the contents" of an image  
returns empty, whereas "the text" does not. But I'm sure that once  
upon a time—maybe in Metacard days—it was a synonym. Am I nuts? Does  
anyone else remember this?

Even if it wasn't ever the case, it ought to be.

I'm with Mark. Referring to "the text" of an image makes absolutely  
no sense to me.
