Comment (by afercia):

 Latest patch doesn't remove the title attribute and doesn't use screen-
 reader-text for screen reader users. Also, when collapsed. screen readers
 will still read out 'Collapse menu'. Also, looks like it's a
 "differential" patch :) as far as I see, it applies "on top" of
 29958.2.patch

 > Thre is no CSS overload as the patch makes use of the generic dashicons
 and menu styles
 As said, we need a button not a link. Using a button, we can't fully take
 advantage of the existing menu styles but we have to use something more
 specific for the button.

 I would recommend to stick with the second patch approach, refreshed and
 cleaned up a bit in 29958.4.patch

 Side note: couldn't find a way to use `aria-expanded` on the button (which
 would be ideal): couldn't figure out a simple way to detect via JavaScript
 when the CSS media query kicks in.
