My CP focuses on specifically that problem - it asks generators to 
insert two carefully chosen whitespace characters, as this has 
documented, positive effect with regard to making AT announce the image 
presence with a short 'Image.' or 'Graphic.' announcement:

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/TitleKeyContentMark

The CP refers to this as placing a 'key content mark' in the title 
attribute. 

Perhaps Ted and Laura would like to update their proposals with same 
thing? Namely ask generators to not only add the new attribute but also 
add the key content mark in the @title?
