There's one remaining problem Thomas with this: the default XAR will  
not display properly. We would need to have 2 XARs for this to work:  
one for backward compat and a new one, using titles. And this is a  
pain to do IMO.

We don't want a new user to start XE and find that all titles are  
duplicated by default with a clean wiki he hasn't touched.

WDYT?
