Tips & Tricks
Some browsers may react badly to titles of null length or greater than 256 characters.
If characters from outside the regular english alpha-numeric set are to be used, the author should consider using character entities.
Most graphical browsers display the document TITLE in the Window title bar.
Browser Peculiarities
Although it is a required element in the specification, most popular browsers will not react oddly to its absence.
Some browsers may also use the HTML TITLE as the file name to save. This could cause interaction problems with system file name limitations.
