If the intention is to override the default behaviour, wouldn't it be clearer
to add an attribute to the widget along the lines of
showTitle="false"
or perhaps
useFieldNameForTitle="false"
instead of fighting with a fake title that's not really a title at all?
The default value out of the schema for the attribute would, of course, be
"true".
What do people think?
