Well, if you're concerned a title attribute may be considered spam..., I think you can't be serious.

Are we all now starting to suffer SE spam paranoia? Are the W3C HTML specs now being rewritten by Google?

A tiny bit of text written in background color - deadly! CSS attributes "overflow:hidden; display:none; text-size:1px; " - outlawed! TITLE or ALT attributes of more than three words - evil!

As I said, you can't be serious. As long there is no obvious, blatant spam attempt (like the 1200 hidden spam words on www_rob-james_com), valid HTML should is just that: valid.
