accoding to the wiki page, it says:
http://microformats.org/wiki/vote-links

"Additional human-readable commentary can be added using the existing
'title' attribute, which most browsers show as a rollover."

That is slightly different that your SHOULD BE and the text's CAN BE.

The examples are not being used to express voting strength or intent,
but simply a futher descripion of the text.

<a rev="vote-against" href="http://ragingcow.com" title="nasty corn
syrup drink">Raging Cow</a>

This is semantics at the level of HTML where the TITLE attribute
further describes the link. This has nothing to do directly with the
VOTING.

Where did you find your text? "(2) the title attribute should be used
to express a human-readable commentary (i.e., a rationale) for the
vote."

the spec page does not say (i.e. rationale) anywhere when i search for it?
