Comment (by sabernhardt):

 @adnanlimdi Thanks for the patches!

 The `rss.php` file is likely not worth editing now because MagpieRSS is a
 deprecated external library, and it may be removed
 (ticket:59548#comment:2).

 For the author functions, #26559 retained some title attributes because
 the "Posts by //author//" and "Visit //author//'s website" tooltips still
 had a //small// additional value for anyone who could access them. The
 important information was already in the visible link text. **If** that
 should be reconsidered, a new ticket could focus on those functions, and
 any [https://github.com/sabernhardt/wordpress-develop/pull/32 patch] would
 need to update the unit tests too.
