--- Comment #7 from kipod <[email protected]> ---
sorry for my previous long response.

the short and simple one is: "fallback" just doesn't work.
the twinkle example is nice, but as far as i could see, it points to dead code
- there isn't a single callsite for this function, and once they'll create one,
they'll have to fix this, because it doesn't do what the programmer thinks it
does. 

the tipsy doc page does work (not really), but in order to do so, it creates an
empty attribute named "original-title" on the element. this is completely 
borked.

i could go into a long explanation why "fallback" doesn't work, but the simple
fact is, it doesn't. either try it yourself or believe my - i tried it, and it
doesn't (in order to make it work, you must create an empty attribute on the
html element - this is completely perverted).

summary:
my patch fixes a real bug, and does not break any real backward compatibility.
"fallback" never worked.
