James, 

I think trying to create XML tag names that are page titles is just asking for
trouble.  The XML spec has restrictions on what characters can be in a tag
name[1] so any character that can be in a page title will have to be mapped
into an XML element. It also makes the XML unnecessarily verbose and hard to
read... just looks flaky, imo.  Finally, it is also redundant information since
the page name is provided by the fulltext attribute already.

I propose putting in the change just for the XML format if that solves the JSON
compatibility conflict.
