all grab the @alt value for entry-title. Is this documented anywhere

It's documented here:

http://microformats.org/wiki/parsing

I just added a link to that from here:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom-parsing

It may be other places, but it seems to be ignored in searches.

In the case of <img> should entry-title be the @title value since it
is more accurate - also more visible - then the use of @alt? If @title
is absent, then perhaps @alt may be used?

I don't think so. @alt is alternative content ("this attribute specifies alternate text"), whereas @title is description of that content ("This attribute offers advisory information about the element for which it is set."), so @alt should be preferred for textual properties (e.g. entry-title).

Peace,
Scott
