FWIW, if we do end up deciding in the next version of the HIG that
alerts should have visible titles after all, I think we're more likely
to recommend something like "Alert - <application name>" rather than any
restatement of the alert text.  Gnopernicus already reads out the full
text of any alert window that you focus, so a title is only really
needed to distinguish between any alerts that appear on the window list
or Alt-tab popup-- which few if any currently do.

Cheeri,
Calum.
