Comment:

 [attachment:24766.3.diff] needs to be refreshed after [25570] (and
 [25675]). Also:
  * It often leaves title attributes in the same function. (For example,
 only one of six are removed in get_the_category_list()).
  * I'm not sure we should remove "Visit author's homepage" and such for
 plugins and themes. Could someone argue one way or the other why these
 should stay or go?
  * It breaks some strings (example: the "Log out of this account" title
 attribute), which is fine, but not for 3.7.
  * Sometimes code is no longer referenced, but isn't fully removed. For
 example use_desc_for_title.

 This looks good, just needs more review/examination. Solid work so far in
 3.7.
