Let me quote <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-editor/tutorial.latest.pdf>:
Title
* Should be thoughtfully chosen
* No un-expanded abbreviations, except for very well known ones
(e.g., IP, TCP, HTTP, MIME, MPLS)
* We like short, snappy titles, but sometimes we get titles like:
"An alternative to XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP)
for manipulating resource lists and authorization lists,
Using HTTP extensions for Distributed Authoring and
Versioning (DAV)"
* Choose a good abbreviated title for the running header
* "WebDAV Alternative to XCAP"
So while there is some value in retaining the title, maybe get rid of at
least the HTTP expansion? Also, http://www.w3.org/TR/charmod/#C020 but
in this case I suppose an argument can be made to keep "character set".
