Hidden text more robust than title?

Which is more robust, the title attribute or visually hidden text?

<a href="some/url" title="opens in a new window">read more</a>

<a href="some/url">read more <span class="css_clipping"> opens in a new window</span></a>

I have felt that the title attribute was not fully supported by AT, but I don't actually know of any specific situations where it would fail.
