Hi

I have just had a play with Mozilla and setting title to "" has the
same effect as omitting the title.

Yes with Mozilla. 

I have no idea if this is what should happen since it does seem a
bit buggy -- this page: http://chris.croome.net/css/ has only one
persistent style sheet http://chris.croome.net/css/more.txt, which
has no colours set in it however in Mozilla when one does View > Use
Stylesheet and selects none there are still colours set on the text.
