Having alt and title information as a part of the image field itself is a conceptual failure. Alt and title information is related to display, hence they should be options in a field formatter. Ideally we get support for fields that can be attached to files which can provide per-file metadata like alt and title, which the formatter can the specify the alt text should be [file:field_alt_text] or the title should be [file:field_title].
