Comment (by joedolson):

 Copying any of the information over at all requires a certain amount of
 assumption about the nature of the editing process; certainly for changes
 of size or rotations, it's still the same image - for cropping actions,
 that's less clear; it may or may not be the same image.

 And I'd note, @spacedmonkey, that an alt attribute does *not* describe the
 image; it describes the purpose of the image. In some cases, that text
 might describe the image itself, but certainly not in all cases.

 Ideally, I think that there should be a user interface to give people the
 opportunity to edit  meta for an attachment at the time it's created; it
 could be pre-populated with the existing meta data, as even if the
 information has changed, that's a likely starting point.
