 > The thing what I miss is backward compatibility. Since all the themes
 still will use wp_title() it now will send twice the <title></title> tag.

 Not true, you have to declare theme support for this in your theme for it
 to work first. 100% backwards compatible, that's the main reason for
 choosing this solution.

 > Personally I wish the user could set the format of the title tag in
 Settings, just like permalinks. Maybe that's just me; I dislike that it is
 controlled by the theme since it seems like more of a global/browser thing
 than a design thing.

 I agree Jane, this is perfect groundwork for that next step though.
