Interesting.  But the issue discussed in this blog entry is more a
to-have-or-not-to-have issue.  The point Adam is making is to have 
two different titles, one for the <title> tag, another for the first
headline of the webpage itself. 

After thinking of it, I can see one reason to justify having two titles:
one might want to have a very long and descriptive title in the <title>
tag, while saving space and having a more contextual-relevant title in
as the first headline.

For example 

<title>This is MY blog! -- And this is the first entry of my blog</title>

and 

<h1 class="title">And this is the first entry of my blog</h1>

But I'm still a bit skeptical many people would use this.  Maybe my
imagination is just a bit short on this.

The example above suggests this syntax:

#+TITLE_TAG_FORMAT: This is MY blog! -- %t

  %t = the title of the page (as in #+TITLE:)
  %a = the author
  ...
