We might even consider an option (controlled by the admin) where the user
must add an alt-text -- AFAIK, they're required by the standard.

I think a drawback with quotes is that it's less clear that it's an
alternate text. Maybe adding a '|' between would make it better, eg
Attach:w3c.jpg | "This is my dog Spot."
Another alternative is a separate directive for inserting an image, e.g.
[[figure w3c.jpg This is my dog Spot.]]

Using a separate directive that would like like this:
[[W3C | [[figure w3c.jpg World Wide Web Consortium]] ]]
