My vote is for doing away with title attribute... It makes for 'lazy' thinking; often obscures the link label for sighted persons; has to be explicitly enabled by screen-readers users, and is not accessible to keyboard users! Provide adequate labels for hyper-links, i.e., use words that makes sense if read out of context, and if the need for additional information is necessary, add a sentence of text, that you can hide from those who can determine the context without supporting text and 'show' to those who use screen-readers or use keyboards... Have a great day!
