I know. But there used to be a difference between IE/Netscape/Mozilla. I 
recall that older IEs ignored the title attribute and that Mozilla used 
(IMHO correctly) only title as tooltip.

So the usual workaround was to abuse alt for title and setting both. 
Which is of course dull.

I'd remove this auto-title thingy completely, but if folks like it, it 
should be able to turn ot off by eg setting title to - (hyphen). This 
would be consistent with the placeholders in RTE typolinks.
