i have a question i'm hoping someone can deliver a response to.

first things:  i'm running struts' nightly build from jan 2, tomcat 4.0.1,
and am using windows 2K, though deployment will be on solaris 8.

in our html code, we include in very nearly every tag an 'alt' and 'title'
attribute -- these attributes allow screen-reading software to aid the
visually impaired in understanding out websites.  since we're a government
agency, we're reaquired to do this.

when using the html tag lib, i tried adding these attributes to the tags,
and the title attribute works fine, provided i add it specifically to the
taglib definition of the tag i'm using (makes sense), however alt doesn't.

the issue here is that some screen readers use 'alt' and some use 'title'
in practice.  it'd be helpful if alt were handled in BaseTag as title is.
