this suggestion goes completely against the Accessibility Guidelines 
(point 1.1, highest priority) -> 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/#gl-provide-equivalents>.
The Guidelines are a base for some laws, especially the BITV in Germany. 
  If we want to advertise for TYPO3 as a system wich support the 
Accessibility (what some TYPO3 projects are working on), we must not 
clean all the alt tags.

Another point is, the MSIE only shows the title tags on links. All other 
title tags would go to Nirvana or can only be shown by Mozilla.

So, my point of view is, to let this as it is or may be to give a 
possibility to the site developer to set some title tags if he likes to.
