Please. We both agree that a job position has a title. This title attribute, when applied to a job position, is just fine; you can apply it to a book here and to a job position there and you see from the context what kind of a title it is. But you cannot apply a title of a job position to a person; you need job-title for the purpose because otherwise you have no way to attach "count", "marquis" and the like. If you want your properties to mean something unrelated to their ordinary vocabulary meaning, or only indirectly related, choose ones that are not present in a vocabulary, such as GUIDs, or you will confuse everybody.

I want to use "title" as a means to identify the title of a job position in my resume vocabulary. There is no need to use "job-title" as it is redundant in my vocabulary. Your definition of title "A book has exactly one title" has nothing to do with my definition of "title" "The title of the position that was held for a period of time." Title most certainly is not a shortcut property in my vocabulary. """
