 To internationalize the output of the_title_attribute, you have to go
 through some hoops.

 {{{
 printf( esc_attr__( 'Permanent link to %s' ), the_title_attribute(
 'echo=0' ) );
 }}}

 Adding a 'formatted' argument to the args array would clean it up a
 little.

 {{{
 the_title_attribute( array( 'formatted' => __( 'Permanent link to %s' ) )
 );
 }}}

 Even better would be if we could auto detect what the first parameter was.

 {{{
 the_title_attribute( __( 'Permanent link to %s' ) );
 }}}

 It'd require the function to try and detect if it's first argument were a
 sprintf format.  Maybe: look for %, if found, does sprintf return a
 string, if so, go for it.

 Attached is one way to implement.
