Comment:

 +1 to carolinem's point about accessibility, which is already on record at
 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8256 to separate alt text from
 caption field.

 +1 Denis-de-Bernardy for suggesting that it is plugin territory to REQUIRE
 users to enter a title.

 The accessibility issue is valid, and will be taken care of through other
 ticket. Forcing a user to enter a title, when many users don't want to,
 should be in a plugin, not core.
