Comment:

 Looking back over this, I fail to see any real benefit to texturizing alt
 or title attribute values here. I think there is some risk to causing
 problems by doing this, as you observe. Globally changing the values of
 attributes on sites could easily lead to problems if escaping isn't done
 properly on the client end, for example.

 I agree with closing this ticket.
