Recent Entries Widget should have a title attribute.

[topncal]

The recent entries widget should be reformatted to include a title attribute in the hyperlink.

Line 880 of /wp-includes/widgets.php should be changed from.

<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li>

to

<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?>"><?php if ( get_the_title() ) the_title(); else the_ID(); ?> </a></li>

I went back and read the whole document about submitting a bug. :-) You learn alot when you RTFM, anyway I included the bug fix.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but what's the point of putting the post ID in the title? Surely it would make more sense not to give the link a title attribute at all when an entry has no title.
