Thankyou for correcting my terminology.
Text-indent. That's just what I need! Thankyou Lachlan, its a much
better solution.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the menu uses CSS Sprit rollovers so

They're *attributes*, not tags, please learn the correct terminology.
Title tags are irrelevant for accessibility?
No, they're not irrelevant, but they need to be used appropriately and
cannot be depended upon for giving information to the user.
<li><a id="Home" title="Home" href="index.jsp"></a></li>
Put the text inside the a element and use CSS to hide it. There are
still some accessibility problems with this method, but until more UAs
support the 'content' property on any element, there's not much you
can do about it.
try something like this:
a { background: ...; text-indent: -2000px; text-decoration: none; }
Look up image replacement techniques for more alternatives.
