I think what Devon was after was a way to say "this here XML element is the
title" for use when displaying XML+CSS rather than HTML.

The title of a page is meta information, outside of the presentation in a
page. CSS is used within the presentation of the page and for presentation
of the page.
Specifying the text in a page tag or meta tag is a function of script,
specifically in this case some kind of server-side script like:
<title><%= myTitleVar %></title>
If you are using ASP, JSP, CFML, PHP, etc. you can accomplish this.

I haven't found it yet so I assume an equivalent does not exist.
I've long wished CSS could give us authors a way to define what text goes
into the window title of a browser (or other viewing device). XML+CSS
documents always strike me as unprofessional or unfinished, because of no
window title. I envision something like..
foo { window-title: attr();}
...or...
foo { display: window-title;}
Value options for a 'window-title' property could include strings, uri's,
or
even the word 'yes' (to indicate the element's contents would be the window
title).
Just a brainstorm you might be interested in.
