Check out some random, popular, *RSS feeds* (not *pages* index by
Google) on Bloglines: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bloglines.com/topblogs">http://bloglines.com/topblogs</a> . How many do you
see with the site name prefixing the entry's title? I looked through
several and didn't see any.
I think some people are confusing RSS item titles and page titles.

This is my fault. I almost certainly did not get the import of this
thread. It seems that I took a discussion about straying from RSS
standards regarding titles and responded with comments about title
metatags, for which afaik there are no set standards and afaict the
common practice is to put source before title.<br>
<br>
My apologies for going OT.<br>

As for RSS trackers and readers, I would think that the presentation
really depends upon the client or CMS doing the aggregating. Our own
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/planet">http://drupal.org/planet</a> puts source before title, and I find that very
helpful and more intuitive than the out-of-the-box aggregator
presentation in 4.6.x (where it's harder to find the source of the
aggregated content).<br>
