Hi Sam, Issue is that there is NO IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENT SPECIFIED in HTML5 to provide input device independent access to title attribute content. the nearest that the spec gets is this statement "User agents are encouraged to make it possible to view tooltips without the use of a pointing device, since not all users are able to use pointing devices." [1] So how can I bridge the gap when there is NO IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENT SPECIFIED?
