Additional information: in many HTML browsers, a tooltip with the ALT
text is displayed when the mouse hovers over an image, and cutting
and pasting will also cut&paste the ALT text.
Another thing that I'd want in the context of images in Texinfo would
be a possibility to specify the descender value, the percentage of
image below the baseline. That makes it possible to specify a row of
symbols as images and have them line up properly which is quite
important if you want to have convincing renderings of mathematics.
For an illustration, compare the screenshot
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/screenshot.png> with
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net/xscreenshot.png>.
It is surprising how badly the look of mathematics suffers when the
baseline info gets lost (the bug has been fixed since then).
