The flexibility of the title attribute (as opposed to the title element) can be seen in the ever-exciting W3 technical reports. Two places that are always a great read, and full of surprises are the "List of attributes" [1] and "List of elements" [2].
The list of attributes shows the title and has info beside it saying its related elements are: "All elements but BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM, SCRIPT, TITLE" Before getting too excited though, an essential read on this topic is Steve Faulkners "The Trouble with the Title attribute" [3].
