I have no objection to the title attribute being included in the accessible name calculation as the last resort in the absence of anything else. However, I would set the threshold for WCAG compliance as being higher than that.

The rationale is that including the title attribute in the accessible name calculation will benefit some people, but not enough that it can be considered sufficient.
