option title attribute doesn't work

The title attribute of option tags doesn't seem to work.

E.g

<select>
  <option title='test 1'>Option 1</option>
  <option title='test 2'>Option 2</option>
</select>


Works fine in IE 9 (just tested), but not in Opera (11.62) - nothing is displayed.

Works in Chrome and Firefox too. Doesn't work in Safari though.

I don't know if it's ever worked in Opera.

What is supposed to happen? Looks the same in Opera 11.62, Opera Next (Build 1351), Firefox 11.0 and Epiphany 3.2.1 (Webkit).

Edit: K, got it. I do not find any resources if Browsers have to do this, so I wouldn't call it a bug.

When you click the select to drop down the options, hovering over each option should pop up a tooltip.

Possibly doesn't work on an input of type image as well (at least doesn't seem to be for me).

E.g.

<input type="image" name="whatever" src="image.jpg" title="My title" />

Confirmed, if it's inside a form. Works in all other browsers including Safari.

The title on input type="image" problem is bug DSK-356356. title on the option element is CORE-9015. So, they're known problems at least.
