When mapping HTML techniques to WCAG success criteria, we mapped the requirement to use a <title> element to the point "Supplying a unique title for each page or resource that can be accessed independently" [1]. This is a bullet point in a level 3 success criterion requiring that there be a statement that certain things were considered. We believe the requirement to provide a title for each document should not be something the author should consider, it should simply be a guideline requirement. It also should be at a higher level than level 3. I would like to see it at level 1, but at least it needs to be at level 2, because there is another success criterion for guideline 3.1 that says "Page titles are informative" [2]. Currently the situation is that the requirement to make the title informative is level 2 but the requirement to provide the title (which you want to make informative) is level 3.
