get_comment_author_link title attribute

[henrywright]

The link which is output by get_comment_author_link doesn't seem to have a title attribute.

Same problem as in #24507: There is no need for title attribute. Plugins can add one by filtering get_comment_author_link.

The title attribute isn't just for "additional" information about the link destination, it is also for "advisory" information about the link destination. Although the link text does the same thing, it doesn't hurt to double up for consistency across all site hyperlinks.

I'd argue in favour of repeating the link text as the title attribute but i'm sure it isn't the biggest issue you have open right now :}

As in #24507, it is quite bad in terms of accessibility: ​http://www.rnib.org.uk/professionals/webaccessibility/wacblog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?id=38

Thanks @helen, for pointing out the considerations regarding accessibility. it does seem far better to leave off the title attribute in this case.
