I was looking at adding this to Horde::img(), and I'm thinking
that it might make sense to change the signature of the function
from:

    img($src, $attr = '', $dir = null)

to:

    img($src, $alt = '', $attr = '', $dir = null)

Because we send so many alt="" strings, it makes sense to treat
them specially.  We could also use that value to generate
'title=' attributes in addition to 'alt=' attributes.

These days, 'title=' is as valid as 'alt=', but Mozilla will only
display the 'alt=' text in the event that the image can't be
loaded, while 'title=' is used as "mouseover" text.

I think the above change would be good except for the fact that
is makes backwards compaibility.  However, it would make it more
like Horde::link():

    link($url, $status = '', $class = '', $target = '', $onclick = '')
