My thought is that we don't need it in 98% of the use cases.  Using  
the browser's native title parameter display is more than adequate for  
most things (in IMP: displaying truncated subject names in mailbox  
lists; in DIMP: showing the e-mail addresses in header fields when a  
user name is shown).  Using tooltips here is extreme overkill.

Tooltips are only useful for situations where the title is providing  
extra information and/or information that can not be formatted  
correctly via browser tooltips (IMP previews; various kronolith hover  
elements).  In these specific situations, it is not too much to ask a  
developer to manually add the tooltips library.
