Well, I haven't read all of WAI-ARIA, just the introduction. But the text you cited says that @title is used to compute an object's accessible name. If authors do not author @title for that use, then this appears to me that be about 'ESP'. (Not that that cannot be useful or necessary. I'm just trying to establish to what extent authors should be using @title specifically with "accessubility" in mind, and to what extent that should be specified by HTML.) -- Sander Tekelenburg The Web Repair Initiative: <http://webrepair.org/>
