 This:

 `<a href="(link)" title="Permalink to Post Title">Post Title</a>`

 is redundant. It is an anachronism from earlier themes that does nothing
 for accessibility, search engines, or general users, and if anything,
 harms all of the above.

 We should remove the_title_attribute() whenever the anchor text is
 the_title().

 Patch for four bundled themes incoming.
