Back on the image note..... Why alt? it doesn't have to be alt, a 
background image should be suitable.
Break up a title by / wrap each section in a span and place proper 
padding on them -- ;) if you want to do something real nice, turn 
everything but the last portion into a link -- and replace every / by a 
span containing / with display: none; and followed by an empty span with 
a background image.
