There is another feature to toss in - the LONGDESC or D-link. In order to provide for good accessibility it is necessary to take account of what browsers (user agents) are in use, as well as what we hope will happen. LONGDESC, and I think TITLE, are relatively new. ALT, and the various methods of including a D-link, are available in almost everything. Therefore it seems that ALT and D-links should be used in combination to provide both the functional information service Liam is describing and the 'thickly described' pages asked for by others (I would be one of those others) The additional use of TITLE for a bit more information, which can be requested, LONGDESC as a future-proofing strategy to improve the aesthetics of d-linking, and ultimately OBJECT, provides us with further tools to enhance this seemingly dichotomous goal.
