That's no different to the current use of ABBR:

  <abbr class="type extended-address" title="home">Chez moi</abbr>

So exempt URL:

  <a class="type extended-address url" href="foorbar.htm"
title="data:home">Chez moi</abbr>

  type = home

  extended-address = home

  url = foorbar.htm

Or specify that the title-data-pattern ONLY applies to "type", "geo",
"tel", and any other (future) attributes where data, for which the
machine-readable value is not human-readable (or is not in the same
language), must be encoded:

  <a class="type extended-address url" href="foorbar.htm"
title="data:home">Chez moi</abbr>

  type = home

  extended-address = Chez moi

  url = foorbar.htm

It doesn't matter which we adopt, so long as everyone consistently uses
the same rules.
