I (finally) got around to testing this out. Initially I thought it had been
released in 9.4.5 but AFAICT that's not the case. Does org not get released
from `master`?

Anyway, we're a step further now in that the title appears to be set using
no markup, so that's 👍.

Unfortunately, the title now is essentially the exact text of the org
heading, which is awkward in terms of readability for a general audience
(and probably for SEO etc.). I know I said in my original message that I
think stripping all the markup characters would be going too far but now I
think I've come full circle and rendering the title as nothing but the
plain text without any markup information feels like the right solution
given what the title is supposed to convey.

So, would we be willing to accept a patch to that effect? :)
