 We're not going to use wp_title or any of its filters. The reason for that
 is there have been several attempts at doing that and they all break
 because of how wp_title is used in plugins. A patch to do that by Nacin a
 while back actually had to be reverted because of it. So you can rule that
 one out.

 I do understand what [comment:25 greenshady] is saying, we'll have to give
 that another thought. If we opt for a template tag I would opt for one
 that outputs the <title> tag, so the only way of changing the title is
 still by applying filters to the content and giving plugins access to the
 entirety of the title tag content as well as allowing us to change title
 structures from the backend as [comment:13 Jane] suggested.
