Assume a document like this:

<html>
  <head>
   <title>foo</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <div>
    <svg>
     <title>bar</title>


Isn't it more correct to say that processes title when, invalidly present outside a head section.

The <svg> is a red herring, and is, I think invalid, as there is no namespace change specified, and the document is not XML.

It was a design aim of the original HTML that tags around unknown elements could be ignored with the result being to fail degraded, so this should be rendered the same as if there were no <svg> at all. Where it is going wrong is that the title element tags should also be ignored, so "bar" should render in the contents, not as the page title.
