RE: [LIKELY JUNK]Re: title/alt attribut keyboard accessibility

Well the issue for me is that there is an action (mouseover) for display of tooltip (title) in IE
whereas the corresponding keyboard action for display of title is missing, that's all.

You should design always with a keyboard alternative for any actions. That's the agnostic requirement.
But right, IE bug base would be a more appropriate location for this concern.

I'm not getting the distinction here.  What is the speciality of title that 
it should be singled out in this way and Why should it be done here rather 
than in aria or uaag?  What is important is that anything done be device 
agnostic and device type agnostic as well otherwise, we need a fallback 
cascade which might be difficult to speck.

We need a UA-specific hotkey for displaying the content of the title 
attribute
in the same separate (yellow) popup window as for the mouseover operation.

HTML5 spec definitely should be more precise + complete here.

In Lynx the "title" content could be displayed e.g. in Lynx status area on 
request.
