tooltip listed under Don’t Use Unsupported iOS Technologies

Hi  Maciej

I have been reading the Safari web content guide, it states [1] under the
heading "Don’t Use Unsupported iOS Technologies"

"Tooltips
Similar to hover styles, tooltips are not displayed unless the user touches
and holds a clickable element with a tooltip."

which suggests that tooltips can be displayed but is confusingly listed
under the 'Unsupported iOS Technologies' heading.

I tested out the instructions on a simple test page [2] there are 3
clickable elements on the page each having a title attribute, but could not
get any of them to display a tooltip.

no matter what i tried, i just kept getting the select/copy/paste tools
displayed. can you clarify whether this information refers to the display of
title attribute content?
