For what it's worth, when I suggested the name change I thought that
HTML IMG "alt" was the tooltip and "title" was the accessible
description. But in fact that is backwards; alt text is the accessible
description. So at this point I don't think a name change is necessary.
I'm not opposed to renaming, though, if it would avoid repeating the
misunderstanding I had.
