According to W3C recommendations, the <title> element should be descriptive of the page and understandable in a global context. I think the validator messages sometimes issue a "Tip Of The Day" that suggests some <title> design principles, mentioning that e.g. "Section One" is not helpful (section one of _what_?), see http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/good-titles which also refers to Sir Tim's classic http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html So how does "Validation Results" fit into the picture? ;-) I would suggest a pattern like <title>Failed validation of http://...</title> with ... replaced to indicate the actual page, and with "Failed" replaced by "Passed" as applicable. However one might argue that it would be better to use <title>Failed validation of "..." ( http://...)</title> with the first ... replaced by the content of the <title> element of the page that was submitted to validation. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
