 > So, perhaps a "display on site" checkbox?

 IMHO a lot of end users would be confused at the existence of a checkbox
 "display title of image in HTML element on site," or however it ended up
 being phrased.

 It sounds like the title attribute should not exist if the alt is an empty
 string. Perhaps a conditional editing of attributes can be employed as
 such:

 {{{
 if ( ! alt && title ) {
     alt = title; title = "";
 }
 }}}
