Re: org-mode: couple of html related feature requests

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

I still fail to see why this would be better than using the #+TITLE 
line that has exactly this purpose.  If you want to specify the title 
line, you can use that line.  If you don't want to specify it, all we 
are discussing about is the question of what would be a good default 
for the title.  I am currently taking that default from the file name, 
you want it from the first headline - both can be equally good and bad 
titles.
