Re: [html] Elements within "title"?

There will be lots of abuse. The majority of web publishers might use 
emphasis for their title when there's nothing especially important about it. 
I don't think such emphasis should be rendered by the browser, but if it is, 
it's not a big deal. A bold title wouldn't bother me. Inability to make 
proper use of italics and some other things that were mentioned would bother 
me.
