 No! The alt attribute should not be used for purely decorative images. As
 this cannot be determined by software, it must remain an author decision

 > I disagree with removing title from generated markup.  The content
 author may have a valid reason for providing a title attribute.

 Can you provide a reason - given that it can only be guaranteed accessible
 to a limited sub-set of users (ie sighted mouse users)?
