No, it won't be optimal, but it would work. For English speaker label 
will be 100% informative, and they will get doubled tooltip. Not 
perfect, but they are not punished in regard of label. For German (?) 
speaker, label will be 40% informative, and the rest will be in 
tooltip.

Of course it would be much better to have only label in cases if 
label=tooltip.

Ok, I know you know, but just in case -- principle of the least
