Per definition belief is the absense of proof. 

Both title and alt _attributes_ (they are *not* tags) are very
important for accessibility and assistive technology, the former is
the replacement for the image, the latter information about the image.
The last option is the longdesc attribute, for really complex images.

Now can this thread please die? It is not on topic and hovers in
between accessibility and SEO at the moment.
