Im not sure exactly, but the Title tag is an html property that is not seen through the browser. It gives the page a title and is used to allow the page to be searchable. Like I said Im not sure, Im new to this and this wass my understanding.

Those attributes may be there to allow flexibility of the element in ways not known at the time.

dir, lang and xml:lang (in case of XHTML) are the internationalisation attributes (in short: i18n), since you can have language text in the style tag (e.g. comments)

the title attribute may be used by user agents (UA) to give that style section a display name (not necessary the HTML display though) (think of FireBug)


PS. HTML5 allows for 73 attributes (core, event-handler, xml)

okay , I see but can title of style tag used by screen reader?
or screen reader can only read content of the body(content that is in body html document) and it can be used for writing purpose of respected css that is merely for maintaining code?
thanks alot for your help.

screen readers can indeed use an element’s attributes (think of the alt attribute in <img> or WAI-ARIA)

are ideas about WAI-ARIA and applied that implemented in some famous browsers or now they're merely presented as a plan for future implementation?
