Well... no, this won't work, or shouldn't. TITLE in html is not defined as
an empty element (i.e., one without content), so it cannot be legally
treated as such (whether you use <TITLE>, <TITLE/>, or <TITLE />). It needs
both an open tag and a close tag to be valid.

Now to what degree a browser requires valid html (and which html at that)
is another question. Obviously in this case, Netscape is more forgiving of
loose code.
