E.g. how would you use ::tooltip > to include a fragment of MathML markup inside a tooltip? Right now, tooltips can't contain MathML *anyway*, since they always come from the @title attribute, which is string-valued. If we have a tooltip pseudo, we can use Regions to move element content into it. Anyway, I think this is a pretty reasonable idea, particularly if we currently stick with the restriction that it only contains text. ~TJ
