I have to agree with Ross here; in fact, it's arguably a browser Bug!

While it certainly can be useful to specify or alter the ALT text that is
attached to images generated by l2h, the ALT attribute of HTML was _never_
intended to be a `tool tip'!

It seemed Cool the first time I saw them popping up.  But then I thought about
how to write ALT text that served BOTH the original purpose of ALTernative text
to be used in place of an image, AND worked as a tool-tip... Ugh!
