RE: field titles

Joe,

Understood. 

Though, I18N issues would likely lead us to declaring such a title separate
from the actual data model which is intended to be independent of the device
and presentation -- the working draft is focused on the data model to the
exclusion of presentational information.

Regards,

Gavin.
