The value attribute was never considered an official naming mechanism for input type=image, which is why it is not currently listed in the naming steps for the element. However, in testing this today I found that Chrome/Edge, Firefox and Safari all will use value to name the input if other higher priority naming mechanisms are not provided.
Not sure how/why support for this has increased, but seems reasonable to acknowledge it as a valid source now that it works in all the major desktop browsers, yes?
