Hi Doug,

Thanks for your answer. In this case, I'm specifically interested in 
xlink:title.

I'm pretty sure we want to discourage authors from using xlink:title 
going forward. In place of that should we recommend using a title 
element or a bare title attribute? Both?

And if we encourage using a bare title attribute do we need to update 
our list of common attributes to include it or do we pull in HTML's 
global attributes somewhere else already?

Best regards,

Brian
