Description
The following CM:
[](<> ""), [](<> "x")
, 
[][y], [][z]
![][y], ![][z]
[y]: <> ""
[z]: <> "w"
<p><a href=""></a>, <a href="" title="x"></a></p>
<p><img src="" alt="" />, <img src="" alt="" title="x" /></p>
<p><a href=""></a>, <a href="" title="w"></a></p>
<p><img src="" alt="" />, <img src="" alt="" title="w" /></p>
I believe commonmark.js should output title="" if an empty title is defined in Markdown ("", '', ()). This might also be clarified in the spec with examples.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the Markdown cases in commonmark.js and compare the generated HTML with the linked CommonMark output. Done means empty link, image, and definition titles consistently render as title="" while non-empty titles remain unchanged.
