I think it's a bad idea for feature requests to include proposed element names in the page title.  There's always significant discussion about appropriate element names for features, so the proposal should focus on the problem to be solved, rather than the specific solution.  e.g. instead of proposing a <footnote> element, propose a way to mark up footnotes.

I think it's a bad idea for feature requests to include proposed element names in the page title. There's always significant discussion about appropriate element names for features, so the proposal should focus on the problem to be solved, rather than the specific solution. e.g. instead of proposing a <footnote> element, propose a way to mark up footnotes.
