Repeated links and accessibility

Is there a recommendation from anyone on the best Sakai way to
display repeated links (ie: add-edit-delete) in a tool that meets
accessibility guidelines?
I noticed the following table in OSP:
http://alpha.lsb.syr.edu/~smkeesle/osp/viewCell.osp.html
Which has repeated links for every item attached to a matrix cell.
The easiest way to handle it (which would be ridiculous) would be to
have links like: "Edit SOE Proficiencies-Row: Proficiency 1; Column:
Stage 1-f2 1".
I've read that some folks use title attributes in their anchor tags
to designate a difference between instances of similar links:
ie:
<a href="someplace" title="Edit SOE Proficiencies-Row: Proficiency 1;
Column: Stage 1-f2 1">Edit</a>
I didn't wander across a Design Pattern for this...is there one? It
would seem to be a common enough issue to warrant a recommendation.
