I agree, the example I gave only covers the special case of an <img> element
with a missing image. The spec should make some reasonable suggestion that
covers the general case.

As a browser implementor I can see how it would be useful to give some form of
keyboard access to @title contents but I'm not sure of the best way to do it.
One possibility is to have a keyboard shortcut to cycle through every item with
a title attribute, which highlights it somehow (maybe) and displays the
tooltip. I'm not sure if that's a very good UI design though.
