Yes, alt= and title= serve different functions, but lacking a markup 
syntax that allows alt= and title= to be independently specified, we're 
left with the following choices:
  1.  Use .../image.gif"descriptive text" to specify just the alt= attribute.
  2.  Use .../image.gif"descriptive text" to specify both alt= and title=
      attributes.
  3.  Come up with another markup to allow the title= attribute to be
      specified in an image.

I'm open for suggestions.  :-)
