---- Image/Link Attributes -- TITLE= vs ALT=

Just wondering: when you have an A HREF= tag that contains an IMG SRC= tag, is it a good idea to include both attributes? -- some browser versions support one or the other, and some support both.

From a technical standpoint, I assume the HREF TITLE attribute is supposed to be bound to the link destination, while the IMG ALT attribute is to describe the image itself, but since we are looking to provide accurate context, it's difficult sometimes.

Do search engine bots treat the attributes differently? What happens when both are identical? Should they be different?
