"Maybe, one should be able to 
specify the alt-text when uploading the picture. You don't have any 
additional markup then" 

A very good thought,gets my vote--though Pm is right, it does not cover images that live elsewhere (could it?). Alt text is primarily designed to work in a different browser--a browser that talks to the user. Those same browsers, screen readers such as JAWS, Window Eyes, IBM Homepage Reader don't "see" frames any better than they "see" images. For anybody who has never used one, they are free to download.
