Thanks for the reply. But title and label are different things. Title
here refers to the pop-up yellow tooltip when your mouse hovers above
the input area. Sometimes the app needs them both like this:
<label>My label</label><input type='text' title='A longer
description for this field'>
The proposal not only settles the need for _title, but also _onclick,
_onchange, etc., if not _size.
