The spec says:

"user agents are expected to render an element so that it conveys to the user
the meaning that the element represents, as described by this specification"

...and:

"The title attribute represents advisory information for the element".

This is the same requirement that requires <p>s to be visible, or that requires
<title> to be conveyed, or that requires alt="" to be visible, for that matter.

Why would it be enough for <p>, <title>, and alt="", but not title=""?
