First, I'd like to point out that the word "title" is ambiguous in HTML
contexts. It could refer to the external title of a page (the <title>
element), to an advisory, tooltip-like text attached to an element (via a
title attribute), or some of the many heading-like elements like <h1> thru
<h6>, or <caption>, or <th>. So it's better to refer to the <h1> element as
the main heading (or page heading).
> <h1 style="text-align: center; border: 3px solid black;">Worldwide
> Wheelchair Accessible Washrooms</h1>
No, it's not quite that simple. The current design makes the box as wide as
the text (plus padding and border), whereas an <h1> element by default
occupies the entire available width (normally, canvas width minus some
paddings or margins of the <body> element). I'm afraid a single-cell table
is the simplest way to achieve that (in a way that works on most browsers).
For a CSS solution, you would probably have to use artificial <span> markup
(<h1><span>...</span></h1>) and set the border and background for the
<span>.
