 +1. IMHO this is addressing a problem that doesn't really exist (namely
 that themes have more control over the <title> than plugins do). If a
 theme contains nothing more than `wp_title('')` in the <title> tag then
 plugins have complete control over the title. Most 'SEO' plugins ask users
 to ensure this is the case, and so be it.

 All this change will accomplish is that SEO plugins will need to ask users
 to ensure their theme oesn't contain a <title> tag at all, rather than
 asking them to ensure it only contains `wp_title('')`. I don't believe
 that achieves anything.
