XF 2.1 Easiest way of adding attributes to the avatar IMG tags?

[Kevin]

I'm trying to add some attributes to the IMG tags generated for the image avatars. Unfortunately the actual HTML that gets generated is hard-coded in templater.php and is not in a template. What's the easiest way of adding a few attributes to it?

I've already tried doing some jQuery trickery to add the attributes when the dom is complete but, much to my chagrin, sites like Pinterest read the raw page and attributes don't get added. Whoops.

Plan A was to update the template, Plan B didn't plan out. Ideas for a Plan C?

You could extend XF\Template\Templater in an addon and change returned value of fnAvatar() via a regular expression.
