Hi Jon,
On my intranet we have a charter that says that every out-link should be accompanied by an icon. Of course they know nothing of ALT and TITLE attributes, but it's a beginning. On the sites I'm on, we try to always put an ALT that at least says something like "(external link)", of course.
We even have an internal quality charter that /forces/ us to put an icon everytime we link to a resource external to our site. And if we don't conform we're not "labelized".

It's not off-topic at all IMHO, so don't feel compelled for a tip, although tips are always welcome ;-)
