Title is not going to work if it is used in a way that tabbing through links does not make sense without it and you can be assured that many people using screen readers and other at/user agent conbinations will miss it entirely.

I was picturing ( in my own mind) the screen reader automatically reading the "longdesc". Thank you for your logical viewpoint./ /That aside, I still hold the position that "title" is the only proper attribute to use with an "a" element ( ie; hypertext link ). Matthew J.
