 Replying to [comment:62 greenshady]:
 > The big issue with just keeping `wp_title()` is how to handle
 `is_front_page()`.  Currently, `wp_title()` does not output anything for
 the front page.  This has left it up to theme devs to add in something to
 display on the front page, which makes it tough for plugins to filter
 since there's no hook.

 What's wrong with Themes using the `wp_title` filter to add content when
 `is_front_page()`?

 But, regardless: either Themes/Plugins can filter `wp_title` to add
 `is_front_page()` content, or the `wp_title()` function can be modified to
 accommodate `is_front_page()` - neither of which requires this patch.
