--- Comment #3 from Derk-Jan Hartman <[email protected]> ---
@Brion, this is a problem we have in core as well. Links have title attributes
that always contain the full title of the article. HTML wise there is nothing
wrong with that, but for accessibility it is often said that you should not put
something there that exactly matches the contents of the link.

However there are quite a few scripts that probably depend on the fact that the
title attribute always contains the full article title. I know hovercards does
and probably there are a few more. So changing it would be a breaking change.

On desktop this is less of a problem, since title attributes are not
automatically read by screen readers as far as I'm aware. This seems different
iOS, testing shows.
Perhaps we should also ask Apple. They seem to have a dedicated team working on
that stuff.
