Really??

When I look in Accerciser at the image, I see the following:

1. The image has no accessible name.

2. The accessible description of this object is "Orca" ("Orca" is the alt text;
not the title text.)

3. The title information ("The logo of Orca, screen reader for the GNOME
desktop enviornment") is not exposed to ATs from what I'm seeing.

What I expect to see is the following:

1. The image would derive its name from the alt text (i.e. the accessible's
name would be "Orca")

2. The accessible description of this object would be "The logo of Orca, screen
reader for the GNOME desktop enviornment"

In addition:

1. The "phone number" link has a title attribute ("i.e. the number of your
phone :-)"). I do not see that being exposed to ATs. I expect the title
attribute to be exposed to ATs -- and done by making that information the
accessible description.

2. The entry in which the user is expected to type his/her phone number has a
title attribute ("Enter your phone number without any punctuation"). Again, I'm
not seeing that information exposed to ATs. (And again, I'd expect it to be
exposed via the accessible description.)

3. Ditto for the Submit button (title attribute which is not exposed to ATs,
but should be: "If you need a tooltip to tell you to press this button, we
don't want your phone number." -- Yeah, I was tired when I made the test case.
;-))
