One reason is that one could use content negotiation to deal with
different primary languages in a multilingual context. That's what I'm
doing right now, with my site.

I don't see why a page, having a primary language, would need to
incorporate multiple titles in different languages. Also, I don't see a
situation where pages *without* a language elevable above others would be
needed. Hence, I would tend to advocate a single title for a single page,
and multiple pages for multiple languages, possibly negotiated for via
already standardized protocols.
