definitions and aliasing

Last October I did a ton of work implementing much of the Bikeshed
definition aliasing stuff (so we could say <dfn title="the term|the
terms|term|terms">The Term</dfn> and then references like <a>the terms</a>
would just work.

I somehow lost all that work, so I am starting again.

I noticed that bikeshed has changed its attribute for the 'title' of a
definition from 'title' to 'lt' and 'local-lt' (for a definition that
shouldn't be exported).  I intend to implement this in baby steps.  I need
the aliasing stuff RIGHT NOW.  I don't need the rest immediately.

Anyway, we *must* keep support for @title because it would break every
document if we did not.  My question is "should we also support @lt and
@local-lt?"  A secondary question is "should we deprecate @title in favor
of @lt?"
