Thanks,
The impression I'm getting from the replies today are "title" as an
attribute, has inconsistent interpretation by most UA's. However, as
an element it is essential to the document. Is this interpretation
correct?

The flexibility of the title attribute (as opposed to the title

be seen in the ever-exciting W3 technical reports. Two places that are
always a great read, and full of surprises are the "List of
attributes" [1]
and "List of elements" [2].
The list of attributes shows the title and has info beside it
saying its
related elements are:
"All elements but BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM, SCRIPT,
TITLE"
Before getting too excited though, an essential read on this topic
is Steve
Faulkners "The Trouble with the Title attribute" [3].

Hi,
My understanding of the title element appears shallow. Usage of the
title attribute within an Object , Frame and link is well documented.
However, when I encountered it with <p title="some title">Some Text</
p> my was took on a wide-eyed look of embarrassment, as I was unaware
of its usage in this context. Would someone enlighten on the
flexibility of the title attribute?
