The title is something you can put on "back buttons". The title is something you can put in "hotlists". The title is a really good thing to prioritize in a keyword search. There is no good reason that a document shouldn't have a title. If you want the URL to be the title, make the URL the title. What do you have against title? > This means that: > Hello World > is invalid HTML, while > <TITLE>foo</TITLE> > Hello World > is valid HTML. No, the latter is not valid HTML 3.2, no matter what your checker says. The HTML 3.2 specification is very explicit on this point.
