If the author is using "Content Selection for Device Independence", it is possible to include/exclude titles for some presentations but not others depending on the delivery context; again this does not constrain the presentation and can be effected at level 1. What I am opposed to is requiring HTML (or SVG or other formats') TITLE elements to be non-empty as a level 1 success criterion. Not only does this violate the definition of level 1, which I support, but it also has dubious benefit, since automatically generated titles are often likely to be uninformative. All of this was covered in depth at recent meetings; I just wanted to reiterate some of the major points now that it is has resurfaced on the list.
