Response from the Working Group
================================
While we agree that there are situations where the use of the title
attribute may not be well supported in some cases, we do not agree
that it is appropriate to include the same user agent note on each of
the title techniques. Both H64 and H65 focus on the use of the title
attribute as an alternative to visual cues and associations that
already exist on the page for sighted users. Therefore, the note about
accessibility support for keyboard users is not necessary for these
techniques.

We will revise the user agent note about longdesc in H64 to clarify
that this technique is recommended instead of the longdesc attribute
on frame and iframe as described in HTML 4 due to a lack of
accessibility support.

Regarding H86: We see that we were not clear in our earlier response.
We should have said "Thus technique H86 has a much stronger message
regarding support." There is already extensive discussion of user
agent and browser support issues in this technique.
