Although this is valid (see snippet below), and there are alt and title
tags for the image, does the following make sense from an accessibility
or usability point of view? Are there any problems with this sort of
markup?

------snippet-----

<label for="google">
   <a href="http://www.google.com/";>
   <img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif";
        width="128" height="53"
        alt="Search Google"
        title="Search the Internet using Google" />
   </a>
</label>

<input type="text" name="q" id="google" value="" />

Well, those with poor vision won't be able to resize the label 'text' since you're using an image.

In the meantime, I'd drop the title attibute, if I was you. It's just replicating the alt text (which could so with amending to just 'Search' or whatever the image actually says). Many screen reader users won't hear the title attribute at all but, if they do, all it will contribute is unnecessary noise.
