Sorry?

- 'alt' became a required attribute under HTML 4.0. If it's not for
ALTernative text, then what is it for?

- 'title' doesn't show alternative text in any browser I've tested it in
except Lynx (also excepting a tooltip in IE and Mozilla which doesn't appear
unless you use the mouse pointer to hover over the image)

Does anyone have a link about this?
