aloha, kynn!
in response to len, you wrote, quote:
Proper titling should be done despite whatever the user agents decide to
do. If there needs to be a specific TOOLTIP attribute,that might be the
best approach for certain user agents, using extensible additions to XHTML.

or via an extension to CSS -- if you can define a cursor, why not a
tooltip? after all, they do have their uses -- even i can "see" that --
and it would be beneficial for them, and other mouse-over slash hovering
events and alerts be promulgated uniformly and consistently, in whatever
GUI environment the UA happens to be running, whenever the user cares to
expose them -- especially if exposure is achievable in a device independent
manner!
great idea, though, kynn!
