 From usability point of view and as per WCAG guideline, each anchor tag
 should have title attribute.
 In few of wordpress core files there are few anchor tag markup, which
 missed this title attribute.
 For example in wp-includes/post-template.php file on line number 1345,
 there is code as below:


 {{{
 /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/post-template.php */
                 $output .= $indent . sprintf(
                         '<li class="%s"><a href="%s">%s%s%s</a>',
                         $css_classes,
                         get_permalink( $page->ID ),
                         $args['link_before'],
                         apply_filters( 'the_title', $page->post_title,
 $page->ID ),
                         $args['link_after']
                 );
 }}}

 {{{
 /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/post-template.php */
                 $output .= $indent . sprintf(
                         '<li class="%s"><a href="%s"
 title="%s">%s%s%s</a>',
                         $css_classes,
                         get_permalink( $page->ID ),
                         apply_filters( 'the_title', $page->post_title,
 $page->ID ),
                         $args['link_before'],
                         apply_filters( 'the_title', $page->post_title,
 $page->ID ),
                         $args['link_after']
                 );
 }}}
