I've discovered that Internet Explorer displays the Alt text when you hover, but that that's not W3 compliant. The text that's supposed to display when hovering is what's in the Title attribute.

The Alt attribute is specifically designed to appear when images don't load, and therefore to be visible/audible to a) low-bandwidth connections, b) browsers with text-reader functionality, and b) web crawlers.

The Title attribute is supposed to serve the hover function for fully-sighted users, but I'm not sure if text-readers read it.

Interesting little journey into W3 land.
