And my point is that they shouldn't be, because they have extra
semantics which makes them unlike ordinary PTVs, and if you represented
them as PTVs, people would be confused, because they would behave
differently to ordinary PTVs.

I use "Title:" as a PTV, and in many cases, it is explicitly different
from the page title.  For example, I might have

(:title Way (Back) Around:)
Title:The {$Title}
 
This gives me the ability to sort a pagelist without "The" in the title,
(sorting by page title) and display the information with the full title
(using the $:Title value)
