I know it's wrong but it works: putting the <title> in the body of the
document inside another <head> because I'm generating this with php &
kind of boxed myself into not having access to the text I want till I
get well into the body, for example:
http://edgehill.net/gallery/photo-update/6-24-07/pg1pc1
I noticed that duplicate titles have no effect.

Also, regarding length, the W3C folks say
http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/TITLE.html
"Whilst there is no limit on the length of a title (as it may be
automatically generated from other data), information providers are
warned that it may be truncated if long."
I have no problem with truncating, the alternative would be for me to
truncate it myself. I'm gathering the titles from photo annotations
which are sometimes a long paragraph of text like:
http://edgehill.net/gallery/cameras/pg1pc3
Mozilla strips this to a about 300 characters:
1) Gitzo G1298 tripod with Linhoff LN9051 ball head 2) TC-14E AF-S
teleconverter 3) TC-20EII AF-S teleconverter 4) Tokina 300mm f/2.8 MF
(most of that is lens shade & teleconverters 5) MC-20 release 6) 105mm
f/2.8 AF-S VR Micro 7) Nikon D200 8) 135mm f/2
IE7 strips it to about 100 characters:
1) Gitzo G1298 tripod with Linhoff LN9051 ball head 2) TC-14E AF-S
teleconverter 3) TC-20EII AF
