Comment:

 @boonebgorges @dcavins Thank you for your feedback. Both patterns pass
 with screen readers and I agree with using the simpler alternative version
 as well :)

 @dcavins Yes, we can use just the `aria-label` for additional information
 which need to be heard and seen by users but not for item avatars which
 already have `alt` attributes read by screen readers.

 Attached 7188.patch is a third option.

 * for avatars = add `class="bp-tooltip"` and `data-title="etc.etc."` which
 replaces the `title` attribute
 * for button icons/links = add `class="bp-aria-tooltip"` and `aria-
 label="etc.etc."`
