The patch looks good, but all elements can have titles, can't they?  So
if shr is going to support titles, it should probably be done in the
general tag handling thing.  (And, of course, <td> handling needs
special-casing.)

shr aims to be fast, not a complete HTML renderer.  So if that's
difficult, it's not essential.

Hm...  isn't there a general Emacs tool tip thing that can show the tool
tip without using the mouse?  I have no idea, but there probably should
be if there isn't.  :-)
