 While we've worked hard to eliminate usage of the title attribute across
 most of WordPress core, there is still an occasional need for that type of
 contextual information, and the lack of it is a barrier to resolving some
 issues (e.g. #50921) and removing some of the last instances of the title
 attribute.

 An accessible tooltip will need to meet these criteria:

 1) Be available either via the mouse, via the keyboard, or via touch.
 2) Be persistent until dismissed
 3) Support primary & auxiliary usage, dependent on whether the tooltip is
 the sole name of the control or an elaboration of existing text.
