In the case of IE (not the case with NS last time I checked, but I
haven't installed it since quite a few versions ago) title on the
image itself will override alt for tooltip selection so:

<a href="blah.html" title="sensible link title">
<img src="blah.gif" alt="sensible alt text" title="sensible link
title" />
</a>

will have the correct title, although it's a bit of a kludgy way to
do so.
