What's handy about turning "alt" text into a tool tip? Or maybe I'm
misunderstanding.
Being too lazy to look at specs right now, my recollection is that
alt is supposed to be an ALTernative to the image, not a tool tip,
nor additional information. Text INSTEAD of image.
The "title" attribute is SUPPOSED to be a tool tip. It is SUPPOSED
to be "additional information" for an HTML element.
