Well, the title attribute really can be used for anything, like p and ul and etc. But as far as I know, the only thing this adds is a little tooltip popup of the title in some browsers. This isn't really useful, it works like you often see with acronym tags, and it isn't used by most screen readers or other non-visual devices. You can use javascript to make cool popups that use the title attribute [1], but nothing beats contextual information.
