4.5.6 TITLE attribute
The TITLE attribute to the anchor element is not
extensively used, and is little supported by current browsers.
This attribute is optional, and is informational only.
If present its arguement should be the TITLE of the document
whose address is given by the HREF attribute.
This may be useful for the following:
- The browser may display the title of the document prior
to retrieving it. For example the browser could display the
titles as a margin note or in a small box while the mouse is over
the anchor.
- Some documents -- mainly non-HTML documents such
as graphics, plain text and Gopher menus, do not come with a title
themselves. Therefore putting a title in the link is a way
to give them a meaningful title.
