Our current Untitled Track Style (including both [untitled] and
[unknown]) is confusing and not very practical. (
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Untitled_Track_Style )
It clashes with the Guess Case configuration on the matter of hidden
tracks ([untitled] according to the guideline, [unknown] with Guess
Case), fails to clearly set a difference between an untitled track and
an unknown track, and causes situations as in this recent forum
thread, where 3 people (myself being one) made 3 different readings of
the guideline: http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?id=2549

I think this proposal makes the [unknown] / [untitled] difference
quite clear, and that by merging all the cases of "untitled" tracks
into one, it becomes simpler too, while being equally comprehensive.

[untitled] is always to be kept in the NGS tracklists where it
appears: if a name is given later, it can be changed at the
*recording* and *work* level. This is present on the proposal,
although it shouldn't be transferred to the guideline (if it passes)
until NGS ships, for obvious reasons.
