>I think the TITLE attribute, as useful as it is, wasn't treated
consistently by AT -- which is a shame.
The question that pops up in my mind all the time is that when browser and
AT makers have not got around to rendering valid attributes like title
for so many years, what will induce them to support newer attributes /
techniques consistently? (A few other attributes that are inconsistently
supported are scope, summary, longdesc).
Now ARIA has the aria-label attribute which I think really duplicates the
title attribute and that too is not supported as yet. Also not sure why
title needs to be duplicated.
