Although it might be possible to implement, no-one has yet given a valid use case that requires the use of markup in the title, is worth the cost of implementation and backwards imcompatibility, and has some real practical benefit for users and/or user agents. Your example can be handled using: <title>H₂O</title> (U+2082 is SUBSCRIPT TWO) Or simply accept the small limitation and write: <title>H2O</title> -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
