--- Comment #1 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> ---
The "Title" matches the alt attribute for images in HTML.
The "Description" would match the "long description" for images in HTML and
there are various ways of doing this in HTML. The Web Accessibility
Initiative's tutorial on complex images describes a few ways of doing this:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/ .
A technique not described in the above tutorial is using the details and
summary elements inside the figcaption element below the image (img and
figcaption being both wrapped in the figure element), so the long description
is available through a disclosure widgets. This works both for screen reader
users and other keyboard users. (An example in German can be found at
https://digitalisierung.hdm-stuttgart.de/barrierefreiheit/gesetze-und-richtlinien/
.)

(Note also that "Description" should only be filled in for images that are too
complex to be described using only an alt attribute. The alt attribute is
always read; the long description is presented through a mechanism that a
screenreader user can chose to ignore or skip. In many cases, this is a link.)

So we need to figure out what sort of HTML output we want to generate, since
there are several options.
