The <meta> element can contain whatever information you want - you can
call one "title" if you want to. The W3C doesn't say anything about it
(in fact, they say that the document title is already covered by the
<title> element), and whether search engines will look at it is also
questionable, since they don't generally look at the more common meta
tags (e.g. keywords) anyway.
