RE: [wsrp] [change request #237a] Can a CSS class write the label of a button?

Title: Message

Forcing all buttons to be images may not be a practical 
solution, since well-formed pages would contain alternative text anyway, for 
accessibility (and related) reasons, etc.

In looking back 
  through previous work, it is clear I was confusing XSLT styling with CSS 
  styling. In XSLT it is trivial to write the labels for buttons, but appears to 
  not be doable in CSS. One can use CSS to set a background image, but any label 
  text of the markup overlays this. Therefore I think either we require 
  Consumers to set such an image and prohibit Portlets from writing label text 
  for elements using our control classes (allows the image to contain the 
  relevant words) or we decide they are not worth defining in v1 as they are 
  more likely to cause poor UIs than good UIs.
