 Replying to [comment:28 ifingers]:

 > I don't buy into the arguments that the title attribute is useful for
 SEO and UX either. When you really think about it, what could be more
 honest, easier to understand than good descriptive link text?

 this is not ok.

 1) The link text very often is part of a phrase, follows grammatical
 rules, or you write kind of slang  but the link title should be no-slang
 ...

 2)
 what is the profit of offering the input for link text and pre-filling it
 with the linktext from the post? The user overwrites it and by this
 accidently breaks the consistence of grammar (I cannot explain it better)

 do you see my points?
