The title is used to show the user a tooltip and gets modified from some
userscripts, like HotCat. So if we add an data-Tag, it is useful to add the
namespace-number. Of course you can extract namespace and pagename from the
title or from the URL, but both can get easily changed at some point in the
future or even modified before the script is running.

The API needs some parameters to be called, to get infos for a page you need at
least the title, so you can't use it to request this information. Additionally,
it is another request to the server that isn't necessary.

User:PerfektesChaos summarized this on dewiki too:
