The title bar on many tab enabled web browsers still displays the full title of the *active* tab so I believe this is still relevant. A quick check on my platform verifies that 3 (Safari, Firefox, iCab) out of 5 browsers show the title of the active tab. This behavior can be added to the other browsers using configuration options or plugins/extensions.
