test case

Here's a test case, should one be of use.

Note that there is an image included with both alternative text and a title
attribute. At the moment, WebKit is exposing the alternative text as the
accessible description which means it conflicts with my recommendation. :-) A
couple of alternatives for the alt text for your consideration:

1. Expose the alt text as the name. This is what Gecko does FWIW.

2. Expose the alt text as the image description (i.e. rather than the
accessible's description). Please see
http://library.gnome.org/devel/atk/unstable/AtkImage.html

Personally, I could go either way. My thang has always been the
consistency/reliability factor: If I know where I can expect to find/access
something I'm good. :-) Will, do you have a preference/thoughts on which
approach is preferable?
