 * I’ve been using your (fantastic) tooltips on links like this:
 * `<a rel="tooltip" href="target_url" title="tooltip text">link title</a>`
 *  However, this doesn’t validate in HTML5 format. validator.w3.org gives:
 * > Bad value tooltip for attribute rel on element a: The string tooltip is not
   > a registered keyword or absolute URL.
 * Any ideas?

 * Yes it’s true I better use the data-tooltip attribute. I’ll do it on next update.
