If the only use for @title is for the input format, then I'm not 
particularly interested in it for the Spec Conventions document, which 
is about the output conventions.

That said, this might be useful for other spec generation tools, like 
ReSpec, DocBook+XSLT, or XMLSpec.  Perhaps that's what Anne was 
suggesting, and I can see the benefits.
