that's a feature I also need and I would implement if not currently 
present in Torstens extension - but in my case to get a accessible 
photostory with prev-next buttons.
But in general - lightboxes regularly are just a additional gimmic - the 
text displayed f.e. in lighbox2 and similar extensions is already 
present in the source code of the website as titletag of the images. So 
search engines don't have any problems with that or miss some valuable 
information.
