OK, the stylesheets are set up to generate common attributes, but not all of
them are turned on. In the case of the title attribute, it can be generated by
creating a template in your customization layer with a match on link element
and mode="html.title.attribute", and the stylesheet will insert it on the <a>
output element for link:
<xsl:template match="link" mode="html.title.attribute">
<xsl:attribute name="title">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating title for "link" element
Bob,
Yes, I would like a title attribute on the <a> element. I can specify a title
for xlink:title, but the XML is then not valid. I can, however, still transform
it to XHTML, but the title does not appear within the <a> element in the XHTML
code. I can see that in the stylesheet inline.xsl, template "simple.xlink"
SHOULD generate a title, but does not. I have declared xlink correctly in all
my stylesheets.
So because the inline stylesheet doesn't work, I'm looking for a workaround
that lets me generate an <a> title from the content of the link element.
