Using the optional argument would be great, but I'd also vote for having a <TITLE> hook in the same way custom_title_hook works. Both the formal and optional title could be passed, and the user could build whatever window title he/she wanted using them. I also think using the optional sectioning argument in the navigation panel would be great, especially for titles where truncation is a poor abbreviation. Since the nav panel is already so customizable, would it be possible to provide an alternate set of variables like $NEXT_TITLE, $UP_TITLE, $PREVIOUS_TITLE, etc, that are set to the optional title if it exists, and the formal title if it doesn't? That would leave the actual use of the optional titles up to the user. That would be pretty cool, IMO. Dan Young
