I'm not sure if I got the component right.
Maybe this should belong to HTMLElement?

Shouldn't images replaced by alt text act exactly like text?  This would include 
not having any image-only context menu items....

I believe we tear down the image frame completely and replace it with a text 
frame.

But even though presentation of an element changes, it's still the same <img>
element. It still has a source URL. And I think that broken URL should be easily
accessible through "Copy Image Location" instead of having to look at the page
source.

ccing blake also.  If it's "still the same <img> element", why is the context 
menu code not detecting that?  I believe it just looks at the nodeName...

Hixie can stop me if I'm wrong here. This bug is a rehash of the discussion in 
bug 23691, which was marked as a duplicate of bug 41924. We could leave this 
bug open and dependent on 41924, but I'll give the Layout people the benefit of 
the doubt and assume that the fix for 41924 will automatically make every 
image-related feature also accessible from an unloaded image's placeholder 
icon.

Therefore ...
