Bug Description
When saving an svg file a dialogue should require the user to provide a title, unless they can confirm the design is purely decorative.
asking on irc, no one knew of any method to enter title information, except by text edit mode.
According to the SVG specification:
Authors should always provide a 'title' child element to the outermost 'svg' element within a stand-alone SVG document.
according to a recent grep search of over 6000 openclipart images only around 6 had titles.
titles are a critical requirement for accessibility similar to alt in html.

Yes. First of all the meta-data title is now synced to a <title> element on the outermost <svg>, so that is good. One option discussed about what to do if no title has been set by the time saving happens is to add a title field to the save dialog. Another is to have a separate reminder dialog to explicitly set the title first. At the moment I believe the reminder dialog is a better UI approach, but it will need to be considered and implemented right.
