Here's the behavior I see:
Netscape 6 & 7 & Mozilla: follow this standard, only use title for
popups (presumably other Mozilla derivatives behave likewise)
Opera 6 (Linux): folllows the standard, uses only title
Opera 7 (Win): uses title, falls back to displaying link url in popup
IE6: gives precedence to title, then falls back to alt for popups
Netscape 4: ignores title, only uses alt, period

Agreed.
