Alt for the win and title goes on

Alt tags describe the image as in "This is an image of a cow". Title adds additional information such as 'Click me and I'll moo". How hard can it be? So far as using keywords etc I think although Google may like this it goes against the grain for accessibility unless they can legitimately be used.

@RedEvo - it's an attribute, not a tag.
