Some points to consider: For screen reading software that supports the title attribute the user has the choice to read out either img elements alt or title attribute, not both. (based on limited testing)
The londesc attribute is only permitted on the img/frame & iframe elements The permitted value for a longdesc attribute is either an absolute or relative URL.(pointing to a document containg the long description) The londesc is not widely supported (no browser support for it on frame/iframe). (source:http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/) "To view long descriptions in Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape 6.1?, and Mozilla 0.9?, hover over the image and select Properties from the context menu. The resulting dialog box contains the long description URL. To view long descriptions in iCab, hover over the image and bring up the context menu, then select "Description" from the "Images" submenu."
