Silence = acceptance? Hmmmm, a tactic used by some corporate interests 
in standards committees. ;-)

Actually I would say there has been a lack of discussion rather than 
tacit agreement.

I think you make a good case to drop the attribute divTitle since the 
title element does take the type attribute. Note that titles can nest so 
if you want multiple sub-titles, say in another language, you could 
insert those as well and choose the display based the type attribute or 
xml:lang.

So, with that brief comment, I would say that I agree with your position.

Comments from anyone else?

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
