That might have been the intent at one time.  But shr-tag-a has

  (let ((url (dom-attr dom 'href))
        (title (dom-attr dom 'title))
	(start (point))
	shr-start)

Doesn't that create a new binding for shr-start, which means that
shr-tag-a will not see whatever shr-tag-img did?  (Apologies if this
seems like a dumb question.  Like I wrote, I'm still something of a Lisp
newbie.)

The code has been like this for several releases.  It even precedes the
conversion of shr.el to lexical binding.

Maybe I should ask about this on ding?
