Sure it’s not really right/wrong choices. :) Just clarifying where I stand on those.

I did say this is not something that is compulsory. The 'title' is the bit that is spoken in readers used by the visually impaired. It also provides the tool tip (in the browsers that get it right). This is a very personal call. It should be noted that simply repeating the text of a link in the title adds no value. It should only be used if there is additional information that needs to be shown regarding the link.The same with the inline CSS added by plugins. This is a personal choice. For me it is easy. If a plugin forces this on me and I cannot fix it, I find another plugin. I like the new 404 page.
