Description steve faulkner 2014-06-30 19:50:08 UTC 
"Relying on the title attribute is currently discouraged as many user agents do not expose the attribute in an accessible manner as required by this specification (e.g. requiring a pointing device such as a mouse to cause a tooltip to appear, which excludes keyboard-only users and touch-only users, such as anyone with a modern phone or tablet)."

make it clearer that the warning pertains to use of title for the visual display of text.
