Re: tooltip role

Hi, everyone:

If it's of interest, both tooltips are also spoken by VoiceOver on an iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.

I haven't checked events fired in Safari 6 on Mac OS Lion with Voiceover, but can confirm that the ARIA tooltip in the test case file does not get announced by VoiceOver.

The tooltip speaks as expected for me with VoiceOver on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and Safari 6.0.1. Both the native and ARIA tooltip are spoken as the help tag.
