LOL! The FAQ was written by Henri Sivonen. Henri is arguably one of the most knowledgeable people about xHTML and xHTML user agents in the world. A short bio can be found here: http://2007.xtech.org/public/schedule/speaker/47. Take note of his contributions to the Mozilla/Firefox project. Some of writings can be found here:http://hsivonen.iki.fi/.

Go to google.com and hover over the Google image using Firefox. Do you see a tooltip? No! This image has an alt attribute, but no title attribute is present. Standards compliant browsers, like Firefox and Opera, do not display alt text as tooltips. Please read the articles I referenced in an earlier post.
