Alt attribute content only provides tool tips in IE because it is a
non-compliant browser. They do not display in other browsers. The
title attribute however, does display in Firefox, but not sure about
Opera et al.

I'd just like to point out that the alt text does benefit everyone in
situations like providing tooltip content and for when images are not
able to be downloaded/viewed. i.e. provide content for what the image
would have been if it was displayed correctly (in fact I though that
this was the reason for 'ALT' text, and it just benefitied assistive
technologies like screen readers too, not the other way around?).
Then there is the issue of what is 'meaningful' alt text, but Im not
going to touch that one.
