One should bear in mind that very often screen readers won't read the title attribute, so if you put anything too vital in there, many users won't hear it. I've got JAWS 6.x on it's original settings as installed and I don't hear title attributes, even when in <abbr> tags.

We've been trying to find a workaround for that as we've got some abbreviations that we need read out to JAWS users because it sounds incoherent as JAWS is reading it at the moment, but we can't just write the words out because it won't fit into the data table and would cause problems for some resolutions/monitor sizes. We're currently exploring synonyms.....
