Summary: MediaViewer should not change the page title when
opening an image

The page title corresponds, obviously, to the page you're on. Whether you've
"left the page" is somewhat subjective in some cases, and depends on the mental
model you build up. For example, Facebook's image viewer does not change the
page title, because it is clearly a panel on top of the current page, whereas
Flickr's image viewer does change the page title because the model is that
you're navigating a new page associated with the image.
Given that the MediaViewer has a cross at the top right that dismisses it, and
takes you back exactly to where you were, the mental model currently for
MediaViewer is that MediaViewer is not a separate page, but is instead a panel
that appears on top of the current page. Conceptually, I'm not leaving the
article I'm reading, I'm simply enlarging one of the images in the article. As
such, it's confusing and inconsistent with that model for to change the title
of the page when you click on an image and open it in MediaViewer.
