Okay, I tried this. I quit Safari, moved its prefs to the Desktop, 
and relaunched it. I got no tooltips. I quit Safari again and ran:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips 1
in Terminal.
Started Safari, and had tooltips.
I looked for tooltips in Safari on three other Macs where this 
setting has never been adjusted, and none of them have tooltips.

It seems to me that the default must actually be for tooltips to be OFF.
