What do you mean by "I don't think such emphasis should be rendered by the browser" ? Is the browser supposed to know if a text is really important or not? In my opinion, there will be lots of abuse if the title of webpages turns out to be using HTML. Just look at the actual SEO hacks or "optimizations." The bookmark title's styling is nice as a browser UI feature, but not that important. I also read some of you talking only about the desktop platform. What about mobile devices? How should they handle overstyled title elements? I'm wondering why some start talking about headers in the <title>? I think the most important things that lack the <title> tag are sub- and superscript, and the abbreviation tags. Everything else shouldn't matter. -- Yahia <http://yahia.ma/antiblog/>
