Comment (by audrasjb):
Replying to [comment:66 sabernhardt]:
> 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
decision 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.
Shouldn't we just replace the `title` attribute with `aria-label`?
