Travis and all,
Further confusing things here is that the image is not part of the
actual target. there is an energy assistance page which is the
target of the link. I referred to a hack. What happens is that
pages are tested using jaws and window eyes with internet exploiter.
Jaws supports title but only if you tell it to and its configuration
for that is not exactly pretty. On sites that try to be accessible,
I have seen title used in some instances and jaws and window eyes
users are told to set their screen readers to announce them. While I
know that title is a long time feature of html, I also know that it
is implemented in different ways in different user agents. To be as
device independant as possible, branders will need to understand that
the most widely supported application of a link on the web today is
to have clear text in the link.
Thanks!

Why not just write to the webmaster, and ask him to fix the alt tag
on the link so it says the same thing as the title text?
That would fix the difference. But, I agree that very few webpages
use title attributes, generally it's the alt tags that have the text
for the image.
