For accessibility and general helpfulness, the close and fullscreen buttons should have a title attribute which can be shown as a tooltip on hover or spoken when a screen reader is in use.
Change 105459 had a related patch set uploaded by Apsdehal: Tooltips added to fullscreen and cloase button https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/105459
Screen readers generally prefer alt over title. Also, I'm not sure we want the tooltips to show up, they are ugly, and meaning the buttons (these two anyway) are quite obvious. But even if we want them, then we should set both alt and title.
