We're actually planning on changing our behavior here to not move
<title> elements into the head. I really doubt that there is code out
there that depends on the <title> element appearing in the head since
there is little reason for current web authors to muck around with the
<title> element at all given that it doesn't do anything once it's
parsed. (this is IMHO a bug in current implementations).
