And if you mean: styling the "title" (the "real tooltip" when hovering
over a link), then the answer is: in direct css (on the title) it is not
possible, for generated at OS level also.
Nevertheless it is possible to make an alternative tooltip with css;
though it will not be winning a beauty contest (because of the way of
using css / accessibility issues).
See testpage <http://www.cosbo-amsterdam.nl/tmp/styling_tooltip.htm>.
