Perhaps a better method would be using the longdesc attribute to associate a
caption with an image.
Specifically we could point the image to fragment within the current page
and give an explicit association in this manner.
<img src="man.gif" alt="A Man" longdesc="#manCaption" />
<p id="manCaption">A more full description of the image</p>
I think accessibility experts would have serious issues with this. A
caption doesn't even come close to being a good long description. See
what Joe Clark has to say about writing good long descriptions.
