 * FEE creates duplicate ID’s, which causes validation failures (and potentially
   other failures).
 * For example, check “post title” and “post content” in the FEE settings. Look 
   at the source of a page; you will find something like
    `<h2><span id='fee_3' 
   class='fee-field fee-filter-the_title'>Home</span></h2>` and `<div id='fee_3'
   class='fee-field fee-filter-the_content'>`
 * Thus, id=”fee_3″ is repeated on the same page.

 * I guess I should be using the new HTML 5 data atttributes:
 * `<div class='fee-field fee-filter-the_content' data-fee="3">`

 * Maybe so, but data-… doesn’t validate as xhtml. So I’m still getting several 
   validation errors on every page — all from FEE.
 * I guess I don’t understand this part of your code — Why not just use a class,
   since you want to use the same symbol repeatedly?

 * I don’t want to use the same symbol repeatedly. I need to send extra data to 
   JS for each element, so a class is not appropriate. The fact that the data is
   identical in some cases is accidental.

 * xHTML is dead; HTML 5 is the future. Plus, only users with editing capabilities
   see that markup.

 * I really love Front-end Editor, but this confusion over the “ugly” title showing
   up caused me to waste time…and perhaps mangle…my theme to hide it. I thought 
   it was a theme problem, not something coming from Front-end Editor. I’m sure 
   others have the same problem.
 * Per the above conversation, I was glad to discover that my readers don’t see 
   this “ugly” hover title. I’m happy to live with it when logged in and editing.
   I just didn’t want others to see it.
 * Since others may have the same concern, and probably won’t find this note, I 
   encourage you to add an “important note” on your setting page explaining that
   only persons logged in with rights to edit the blog will see this “ugly” hover
   title. You might add a link to refer them elsewhere. Such a note would have helped
   me a bunch!
 * Thanks again for what I consider to be an indispensable plugin.

 * QixIT: I’ll take that into account, thanks.
