--- the problem with updating the definition of TITLE then becomes in
a citation, book, or other reference such as audio, what happens when
you have an hCard with a title and a class="title" for the name of the
work? the issue becomes WHICH is the actual TITLE you intend? if you
begin to have two meaning for the same property and that property
appears twice in a format which is which?

Each of our properties should do it's best to have one and only one
semantic meaning.
