Title attributes in Markdown vs myst #14

@mpacer and I had a conversation about this yesterday. One place where Markdown does add attributes to the resulting markup is with the HTML title attribute. It does this in a somewhat semantically confusing way, adding them to the round brackets (). So somthing like

[link text](http://link.url "Title")

becomes

<a href="http://link.url" title="Title">link text</a>

My understanding is that a more myst-like way of doing this same thing would be to pass the title attribute into the curly brackets:

[link text](http://link.url){title="Title"}

@mpacer and I agreed that we did not like the markdown way of doing this, but it should be flagged as another possible incompatibility.
