maybe it exists so I can write a title which looks like this

    "I hate the <blink> tag"

which is the plain text rendition, or if I wanted to code it in html/xhtml
it would be 

    "I hate the &lt;blink&gt; tag"

and then applying XML escaping ... would be the following? ...

    <title type='TEXT >I hate the &lt;blink&lt; tag</title>
    <title type='HTML >I hate the &amp;lt;blink&amp;&lt; tag</title>
    <title type='XHTML>I hate the &amp;lt;blink&amp;&lt; tag</title>
