Ideas — Function(s) to get an attachments caption / title / alt / description. There are at least 8 functions that deal with manipulating attached images, but none (AFAIK) to get an attachment's caption, title, alt, or description (at least nothing clean and obvious).
These aren't difficult to retrieve, and normally I wouldn't bother with a separate function to get them. However, because attachment objects use the same keys as post objects, it is not immediately clear where these 4 values are stored from looking at the key names, and the alt value is actually stored in post meta. I suggest separate functions to return/echo these values given an ID (like get_attachment_caption(), etc), or perhaps one function to return an associative array of values pertinent to the img element.
