Not rendering title at all is a valid choice. alt provides an alternative to an image, not a description of it (longdesc does that). Generally a description of the image is a poor choice of alt text. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBO6m+tYFpv9f1Mr0YEQLmJQCgj3lvbUqDPLac3OpjMIr/zJcmsgEAni0r pmuRailAXcp96me38kdtxymp =8Kjw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
