Why, I thought you would never ask. :)

It's based upon my test of this phenomena, which is part of the Search Engine Reverse Engineering Project.

The relevant test is Do search engines index title attributes on links?

You can examine the test, view the source code, and execute the tests to validate the results yourself in just a few minutes. :)
