Re: Title attributes on images and links

Personally I only use title in the following case: the link text (or alt
text of an image) is not sufficient to describe the page being linked
to.

This might be that the link text is "more info" so the title tag would
be "more info about [keyword]".

Another use would be to warn a user that a link opens a new window. In
this case my link text describes the linked page sufficiently, but the
title tag says "opens in new window".
