Ok, so I'm a little late in joining this discussion, but I agree with
Ben on this one. The name of the application should always be in
there. It's even more helpful if the name of the document is too.
Here's a rather common example of why this is a problem:
Windows Explorer doesn't include the application title when you're
browsing folders. Also it defaults to only showing the folder name, not
the complete path. Opening the folder "c:\program files\badapp" just
shows a window with the title "badapp". After opening this folder, you
also run badapp. Badapp, being poorly coded hangs and you need to kill
it. In Win9x, you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and select the process to end. In
the process list, you select "badapp" and hit End Task. Since your open
fold is simply called "badapp", you can very easily kill explorer this
way without realizing it. This is equivalent to killing Finder on the
Mac which we can all agree isn't a good thing to do.
It's M$'s fault that this problem with Explorer exists and I don't think
we want Moz to behave that way too.
