Could test this for pages with good PR & links to pages want to boost PR of. As it is acceptable for improving accessibility it should not attract any penalties as long as it is not overused or keyword stuffed to excess.

Kailash Balnac, who runs http://rcpl.20m.com [1] , wrote in to
tell me about a useful feature in Internet Explorer: Titles for
Hyperlinks.
The A HREF tag carries a "title" attribute, which is very
similar to the ALT tag for images. When the mouse cursor is
hovered over a link that contains this attribute, a small box
pops up to display the contents of the TITLE link.
This is a great navigation aid. It allows you to provide details
about what can be found beyond the click without cluttering up
the page with lengthy descriptions. To maximize the tag's
usefulness, keep the description to 60 characters of text. Don't
think of the TITLE tag as an excuse to use poor linking text,
either -- this tag only works in Internet Explorer.
Here's what the final code looks like in the context of a
sentence:
The first to break the story was href="http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/" title="World News on
CNN">CNN, who interrupted their regularly-scheduled
broadcast to report that fresh donuts had arrived.

specification and is a key component in the Web Accessibility
Initiative. It works in Internet Explorer 5+, the Mozilla
Builds, Netscape 6+, and Opera5+. This makes it available to the
majority of Internet users."
