Mike,

In checking with my JAWS power user, he informs me that currently, this is
not available, although it may be included in the next version of JAWS.  You
are right it would be useful.

He and I had a brief conversation about this, and he suspects that most
users, even daily "power-users" rarely switch from the standard install
default, which is to read the ALT text only.  There are a number of
different configurations however, so your mileage may vary.

I quickly (very quickly) set up a test page (www.wats.ca/test1.html) which
he is going to run through and I will post his feedback shortly.
