Yes!  Good catch.

Otherwise, people will get it wrong...

I don't we can say don't escape user input assuming Title will get placed into entry markup, and rendered as HTML who knows where after that. I think Title need to be considered tainted content, ie we'll have to say something about it and XSS in the security sections.
