Document: WAI-ARIA 1.0 Authoring Practices Working Draft 7 March 2013 3.2.7.1. Steps for Defining a Logical Navigational Structure contains following as examples <div role="navigation" title="Table of Contents"> … </div> <div role="main" title="Game Statistics"> … </div> The value of title attribute is not exposed to assistive technology for these elements. Sighted keyboard users too cannot access them. Sighted mouse users may not realize these elements might reveal some text when moused over ... not sure they will be able to identify the div elements in the first place. Proposal: So I suggest this doc should not recommend use of title attribute on the DIV/SPAN used for landmark roles. Placing aria-label attribute instead of a title will at least help users whose assistive technology supports ARIA.
