   Sorry perhaps I misunderstood your question.  All of my comments were 
about Batik's SVG browser 'Squiggle'. If you want to know how to display 
a toolTip with FireFox or IE6 I suggest you ask those developers.

   I was testing using (on linux, mac use build.sh):
        build.bat squiggle samples/tests/spec/structure/toolTips.svg 

   Squiggle simply wraps the JSVGCanvas.

   Batik/JSVGCanvas doesn't try to mimic any browser behavior, it tries 
to properly implement the SVG standard.
