Actually, in the XSLT file of the default publication it is looking up the
attribute "name", not "title". If there is no attribute "name", if uses
"dc:metadata/dc:title"
(xhtml2xhtml.xsl, line 83)
If you insert an image using BXE, both these values are empty.
If I replace "name" by "title", it's OK (because the attribute title does
contain the title provided by the user).
Should I file a bug ? (i.e. should there actually be a "name" attribute,
or should it be replaced by "title") ?

...but if it is stored in an object tag then we just can extend the dtd
(or schema) to allow as well alt- attributes, or not?
I think it is quite confusing to use either the name or the title
because alt is something different. An image can have a title e.g.
<img class="logoImage" alt="Apache Cocoon"
src="images/cocoon-project-logo-big.png" title="The Apache Cocoon
project is the open source community project developing Apache Cocoon
and Cocoon-based application frameworks. ">
WDYT?

Images are stored under an <object> tag, and this does not have the alt tag.
In an older mail, it was said that <object> is better for the handling of
the meta-data.

Thanks for that info!
Why not using alt directly?
