That sentence in step D has always bothered me.

"Otherwise, if the current node's native markup provides an attribute (e.g.
title)"

Why is the TITLE attribute given as an example in step D as a text
alternative? If you continue through the calculation to step I (eye), you
finally get to the lonely tooltip attribute, which is also the TITLE
attribute. So it's a bit confusing on when the TITLE attribute should be
used. Step D or step I?
