+Fix various issues for input types `submit`, `reset` and `image`
+
+Prefer input `value` when `type` is `reset` or `submit`:
+
+```diff
+<input type="submit" value="Submit values">
+-// accessible name: "Submit"
++// accessible name: "Submit values"
+<input type="reset" value="Reset form">
+-// accessible name: "Reset"
++// accessible name: "Reset form"
+```
+
+For input `type` `image` consider `alt` attribute or fall back to `"Submit query"`.
