Comment (by afercia):

 Discussed a bit this ticket at today's accessibility weekly meeting.
 There's probably the need of a new idea and new approach here. Maybe,
 instead of trying to make the current content fit in a place where it is
 not available to all the different devices and assistive technologies, it
 would be better to simplify and say just e.g. "3 updates" without
 specifying their type. Users can always click on the icon and get the
 details. This would allow to remove the title attribute and use just the
 icon + number and an `aria-label` attribute. It would be easier to update
 the updates count via JavaScript too, if I remember correctly @pento
 worked on this a while ago and I'd greatly appreciate his thoughts on
 this.

 Alternatively, a more advanced idea would be introducing a sort of
 notification area: users click the icon and a panel expands with all the
 relevant details in plain text and links/buttons for further actions.

 Personally, I'd rather keep it simple and go with the first option,
 without excluding the second option for the future :)
