Let me provide an example:

<img src="foo.png" alt="foo" title="foo"/>

How can I avoid duplicating “foo” in the value of the alt and title
attributes of the img element?

Can I declare the value of the title attribute to equal the value of the
alt attribute?

You would need to tweak the stylesheets.

Assuming that you use the "pelt" skin:

]$ cd $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/skins
]$ find common pelt -name "*.xsl" | xargs grep -w img
...
...
]$ find common pelt -name "*.xsl" | xargs grep -l -w img
common/xslt/html/document-to-html.xsl
common/xslt/html/renderlogo.xsl
common/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl
common/xslt/html/tab-to-menu.xsl
pelt/xslt/html/document-to-html.xsl
pelt/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl

Somewhere in there will handle the img element.
