Currently it is easy for the title to get buried among more technical configuration lines like #+options, #+startup, #+seq_toto etc. One can take the approach of leaving #+title at the top of the document, and moving the other config lines elesewhere, but even so I am wondering whether anyone else is attracted by the idea of providing an org-title display property that would hide the #+title: component, and use an appropriate face for the title text. In some ways, the current state gives the impression that the title is something which becomes important during export, but is not really a key component of document when it is being viewed in emacs. For example, I expect others are familiar with the experience of exporting an org file without a title, finding that the first heading has been used as a title, and then going back to add in the title as an afterthought. But a title is an important part of a document, and I thought perhaps a special title display would help to make the title more of a first class citizen in org buffers? Dan
