If you want to achieve accessibility, don't replace the text. The
short reason is that by doing so you will affect (at least) one group of
users, the more vulnerable being those that have images disabled (for
whatever reason).
Now, if you can afford to bother them a little (like everyone else
does, hence not being so little), then use the text-indent method; since
display:none and even visibility:hidden cause troubles for
screen-readers. Look for Joe Clark's opinion on FIR in 'a list apart'.
