 Replying to [comment:8 westonruter]:

 tooltips, however, and they have increasingly been removed from core.
 Yep, see the
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?summary=~Remove+title+attribute&order=priority
 long list of related tickets to remove title attributes]. Master ticket:
 #24766. To the argumentations there, I'd just add:
 - title attributes may be not announced by screen readers, depending on
 the verbosity settings
 - they serve no purpose on touch devices
 - they're device-dependant, because they work only with a pointing device
 while there's the need of a solution that works for all users

 so I'd recommend to don't introduce new ones :) For screen readers, the
 `aria-label` is perfectly OK. For low vision, cognitive impairments, etc.,
 some clear, visible, text is the best option, the shorter, the better.

 There are also more general considerations about controls that use icons,
 or only icons (worth noting this button becomes "icon-only" when
 collapsed) but they're a bit outside of the scope of this ticket :)
