 See related #24766 and all the following tickets about title attributes.

 There are two occurrences in the WordPress codebase for "URL" that use a
 title attribute to expand the abbreviation, in `options-permalink.php` and
 `options-writing.php`.

 Discussed a bit this case in the accessibility channel on Slack] and
 probably there's no need to use title attributes in the first place, since
 "URL" ''has essentially entered language as a self-contained concept''.
