IE does this, but it really isn't what the alt tag was designed for -- it is for visually impaired folks and screen readers to see what a graphic is supposed to be for (especially if it is used for navigation, for example). So FF and Mozilla are behaving correctly, while IE and K are not. OTOH, I really *like* this behavior (as you said: think tooltip), and wish all of the browsers did it. More Information=good IMO.
