pointless to require presence of meta data that is not required for
interoperability, and making meta data up just to satisfy obscure
requirements in a specification actually reduces the value of the
meta data when used properly. For the examples above it seems obvious
that it would have been better to omit the <title> element and allow
implementations to determine a title from the content of the document,
<h1> elements for example.
