Pardon?  It's not very friendly to handicapped users, or those surfing 
with images off on dialup connections, to have alt text that's not 
meaningful when one can't see the picture...which is exactly what 
happens when people write tooltips.

You say this like it's a bad thing.  Seriously, "backward compatibility" 
on the web usually winds up perpetuating some horrible brokenness that no 
one really likes, but is too widespread to change.  Alt text is one of the 
few things we're drawing the line on.

No.  We don't need clueless webmasters sticking title text in alt 
attributes forever.
