Re: [html] Elements within "title"?

You bring up a good point about the title element. However, I wonder
if screen readers do anything with something like
<title>Page Title - <acronym title="British Broadcasting
Corporation">BBC</acronym></title>

That would be the only sensible kind of markup for the title element,
in my opinion. Of course, the spec doesn't state that the title needs
to be rendered by a user agent such as in the title bar of a browser
like Firefox or as the heading for a search engine result. I think it
would make sense to leave the title element as it is. I should note
that it seems a bit more like metainformation than anything else.
Something along the lines of:
<meta name="title">Page Title - <acronym title="British Broadcasting
Corporation">BBC</acronym></meta>

I don't know though.
