[html5] Should an empty title give an (X)HTML5 validation error?

[Gonzalo HIGUERA DÍAZ]

Hi,

The (X)HTML5 validators[1,2] mark an empty title as an error. The only
explicit reference I have found to such a requirement is the 2013-08-06 W3C
version of the standard.[3] Should the behaviour of the validator be
changed?

Also, is this the appropriate place to discuss this? The validator's about
page suggests discussing such issues here,[4] but the information seems a
little out of date and it looks like development is happening at the GitHub
project.[5]

Cheers.
