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.

My apologies for going OT.

As for RSS trackers and readers, I would think that the presentation 
really depends upon the client or CMS doing the aggregating. Our own 
http://drupal.org/planet 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).
