I'm not sure where this came from. When I wrote the build scripts, IIRC
were designed to parse the title looking for 'CSS Test:' and replace it
with the name of the built test suite.

Having the module name in the title isn't great; it takes up space that
could say something more specific and useful to identifying what's in
the test. If you are testing 'writing-mode', then that can go in the title.
But if you are testing 'unicode-bidi' from the "Writing Modes" module, then
*that* should go in the title.
