Jon, do you disagree with my earlier post?  I think just adding the title 
attribute label is not enough.

If someone codes [bread crumb links] as a list and uses CSS to add 
"greater than looking" image characters before each link - then I believe 
that is NOT accessible because if I turn off CSS I loose the hint from the 
"greater than looking images" that separate the links.  Those 
images/characters are the hint that lets both the sighted and screen 
reader users know they have encountered a bread crumb list of links.  CSS 
should not be used to add semantical information through styling.  Some 
may argue that styling a list to make it look like a bread crumb list is 
OK because it's a list after all isn't it?  My response has already been 
that it is not "just" a list of links.  Bread crumbs are a special list of 
links that convey additional hierarchal meaning that is not available from 
the current set of <ul>, <ol>, <dl> XHTML 1.1 list tags - hence the 
invention of the current use of the "greater than" characters and the 
horizontal formatting on a single line.

Phill
