ToolTip exposition is a technique ONLY -- title text can as easily be
rendered in the status bar or other reviewable screen area -- @title
does NOT equal ToolTIp... ToolTips are NOT part of -- nor should they
be -- part of a markup specification; they should be but ONE of many
exposition strategies used to present "discoverable metadata"
this is a SERIOUS disconnect which i have attempted to challange within
the TF -- ToolTips are an implementation decision, NOT something to be
mandated by a technical recommendation, full stop.
