Andy and Joe are exactly right. This is the point - we didn't get the
semantics of 'title' right the first time. Brian is also right - it's
unfortunate, but what is done is done. Title is being used for vcard and
we can't deprecate or replace it without a tremendous amount of backlash.

I think we can still fix this without impacting any of the Microformats,
here's how:

We update the definition of 'title' as it relates to all Microformats from:

TITLE: Job title or functional position of the object.

to

TITLE: The distinguishing name of a book, poem, picture, piece of music,
 job title, or functional position of an object or the like.

This seems to address all of the concerns raised thus far:

* It doesn't affect hcard, hcalendar, or any of the others.
* It brings the definition more in line with the way the English
  language defines it.
* It frees up 'title' to be used in other Microformats.

Thoughts?
