Comment (by nathanrice):

 I agree that something needs to be done with this. wp_title is old, ugly,
 and rather inadequate (as proved by the mess of code used to generate the
 <title> tag in twentyten/twentyeleven.

 However, injecting the <title></title> on wp_head seems like the wrong
 solution.

 I would rather see a new function altogether. Something like
 wp_doctitle(). To me, wp_title() always seemed too generic.

 The new function could be available to theme developers. It could use the
 (vastly superior, IMO) $args array, instead of separate parameters, set
 defaults, output <title></title> tags, do the logic for outputting the
 title based on what is being browsed, etc. And of course, be fully
 filterable (early and late).
