Comment:

 There is a past history of users being confused by the previous placement,
 thinking that the title was the most important value to complete and
 ignoring the alt attribute. This change, in the long-term, is expected to
 lead to better alt attributes, although yes, it will require some minor
 re-learning of the UI.

 The accessibility team believes that this is a long-term improvement in
 the user interface. The fact that people are accustomed to the previous
 order is not a good argument for not changing an interface; if we find
 that the new placement causes long-term usability problems, we can re-
 assess, but for now this is not an issue we intend to revert.
