Not sure if you are the right person to ask, but is there any work being done in the CSS or WAI WGs about this? By default, the ALT text displayed while an image is loading is pretty small in most browsers, and it occurs to me that either by giving a guideline for user agents, or by defining a CSS pseudo-class on IMG (and perhaps one for tooltip-style descriptions), it would be possible to allow page authors to make pages more accessible. I realise that assistive technology doesn't require human-readable text, but it would improve things a lot for those people with less-than-perfect acuity, who do not need the page to be read to them.
