Support for link Title tag?

Hello,

We are working on an enterprise header to appear on all our pages, and
we have three tool icons as part of the header ("Email this page",
"Watch this page", and "Add this page to my links"). We would like to
present these using CSS instead of images with rollovers, in order to
streamline the code and not use Javascript. However, if they are not
images, we can't add ALT text. We do have a "title", but is that well
supported by screen readers? We are also considering adding text links
before each tool icon with "display:none" - would that work for screen
readers?

The test header can be viewed at

Please cc me directly in your response, since I get the Digest version.

Thanks,
Kelly
