I'd say not because the alt text should be describing the image (regardless of
whether it's a link or not) and the title text should be describing the
link/it's action/it's target/etc.
They're seperate things entirely.
It can be a bit frustrating I know as IE displays one and MOZ displays the
other on mouseover, but I think sticking to their proper uses will see you
right in the long run.
