My suggestions for a future version of CSS:
I would not use "tooltip" (to present a tooltip over the element) as a
pseudo-element, as it has been suggested, but create it as a new
property.
Allowed values: none | auto | [ attr(x) || string ]+ | inherit
Initial: inherit
Applies to: all elements
Media: visual, interactive
I also suggest a property "status" whose content is displayed in the
status line of the browser, and which takes exactly the same values.
Examples:
* { tooltip:attr(title) }
input[type=submit] { tooltip:"Submit the data" }
a[href] { status:"Link to " attr(href) }
blockquote,q[cite] { status:"Quotation from " attr(cite) }
