Gaaaah, this is, unfortunately, a very good point. When there is a reference to a web page, what is the title used in the reference listing? - The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists (Possible fix #1 above) - The obvious title-looking thing visible on the page (Possible fix #2 above) The current text in the current document is quite probably wrong because it doesn't even appear in a title-y thing on the page. My sense is "The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists" because it is fact-based and not open for interpretation. However, some sites will mess this up badly, such as putting in some extraneous SEO text. It would be good to have a rule like "The thing in the <title> tag, if it exists, or something better if it doesn't exist or they site creator has messed this up". --Paul Hoffman -- rswg mailing list -- rswg@rfc-editor.org To unsubscribe send an email to rswg-le...@rfc-editor.org
