Yeah and then the generated html would fail w3c validation!

13.2 Including an image: the IMG element
<!-- To avoid problems with text-only UAs as well as
   to make image content understandable and navigable
   to users of non-visual UAs, you need to provide
   a description with ALT, and avoid server-side image maps -->

Start tag: required, End tag: forbidden


Title isn't even OPTIONAL, it's so it's not permitted.  Even a design tool
as lenient as HomeSite 5 doesn't have any provision for it.

Even the graphics on Mozilla's own pages don't use title:

<img
src="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/buttons/getfirefox_large2.png";
width="178" height="60" border="0" alt="Get Firefox">

Short answer: NO.
Long answer: Bitch @ Mozilla
