With this it is not possible to prevent the title from being used by
screen readers and other people who hover their mouse over the time
value. The title is purely to provide machine readable information
that is not humanly presented.
Hi,
JAWS (and, I think, WindowEyes also) reads titles on links,
abbreviations and form controls. <span> should be safe if you want to
hide the contents of the title attribute from a screenreader.
Span seems a more pragmatic choice to me, since title on <span>
supplements the enclosed text, whereas title on <abbr> replaces the
enclosed text. As someone else mentioned, for a lot of these cases we
want to annotate a piece of text with computer-parsable information.
