Re: Proposal on html HEADING elements

Rather than H0 as the title of a document, perhaps it would be interesting
to allow the 'title' element to appear in the body of a document. Only one
title per document, but either in head or in body.

 The rational is that this would allow authors to adhere to "Don't Repeat
Yourself". As currently constrained by HTML4, I sometimes find myself
repeating the contents of the title element, word-for-word in a h1 or
similar element in the body. That's silly.
