Thanks for the link to that hint. It actually confirmed that the ToolTips
are turned OFF by default (for instance, I don't even have the
WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips section in my Safari preferences file) and they
can only be turned on by using the Terminal or a 3rd-party tool like Mac
Pilot (which is also how to turn them off).
