Here is a small, 1 line change to the latest (from 10.31.09) stable version of the module that checks to see if the description field is empty, and if it is, uses the term name for the link title attribute instead. This was necessary to pass 508 compliance for one of my current projects as the vocabularies (with hundreds of terms) were imported from a foreign database, the terms had no descriptions, and we're using %lt;canvas%gt; inside of the %lt;a%gt; tags.
