That effect is not part of the CSS rendering model (at least not yet: see below) and thus CSS doesn't say under what circumstances a browser may show the attributes. But that may change in CSS3. Since there have been requests to be able to control "tooltips" from CSS, the CSS3 UI module defines an 'appearance' property that has 'tooltip' as one of its values. Presumably, once browsers implement that property, they will show a tooltip only for those elements and pseudo-elements that are defined as 'tooltip'. And thus the asnwer to your example becomes: it's your choice.
