Comment (by WraithKenny):

 The title attribute enables conformance to accessibility standards in the
 absence of the for-id combo. It fixes any issue for the screenreaders. Ids
 are not needed.

 Duplicate IDs violates the WCAG because it causes problems for
 screenreaders, (no work-around). AFAIK, WCAG compliance is not optional
 for government sites.

 I wish we had access to testers using accessibility devices, it'd surely
 help here.

 Maybe the resolution should be "wontfix" as the bug on the ticket isn't
 fix unless a theme opts in via the filter.
