The outliner programs should return the entire <h1> contents, <img>, 
<svg>, and everything. What the <img> element represents is defined in 
painful detail and does take the alt="" attribute into account. I haven't 
checked if the SVG spec is as detailed about that case.

In other words, this seems to be a bug in your outliner programs.
