It may be useful, when building a site to display the contents of one's fursona.json file, to present the avatar as an image. People on slow internet connections and people with limited vision may want a way to consume that image with more descriptive text than "{name} avatar image".

Something I'm trying in my own file, since the schema does not preclude additional properties, is a new avatarAlt property. The purpose of this property is, if provided, for the given string to be used to describe the avatar image, perhaps as the alt property of an <img> tag, or an aria-label for a different element.

I've considered also a refAlt property, but I figure the description field may suffice already, considering the detailed character ref as well as the colors array may be best suited to sighted artists. However, if visually-impaired artists can make use of a ref somehow, and would benefit from a dedicated refAlt property, then I'm not at all opposed to one being added to the schema!

This is a great idea! I'll add both properties, since they're optional, if someone doesn't need one, they don't need to add one

I've added this and tagged version 1.1. Thank you very much for the suggestions! I didn't even think about adding these when creating the schema, and it's definitely something that should have been added!
