Actually, if the title attribute will be exactly the same as the
element's text, it's semantically worthless.
(See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-title).
I don't think "Home" qualifies as "advisory information" or "annotates"
a link that already says "Home." If no additional information is
given, it is pretty pointless/silly, especially since it does show as a
tooltip.
Since we will have clear, semantic markup, I highly doubt that we will
have search engine indexing problems anyway.
