 > I agree. This is basically hardcoding something that before was very
 easy to change in a theme.
 > All these titles will be mostly used as the main heading in a page, the
 most important piece of information for:
 > - assistive technologies
 > - SEO
 > - machine readability
 > Moreover, please don't think just in English. Other languages may need
 to change the titles and provide more context; trying to handle this with
 the translation sometimes is not enough.
 > Some examples:
 > - Year: 2014
 > - Audio
 > - Asides
 > read out of context, they don't give enough information about the page.
 Is this a single post title? Is this a generic list? Is a chronological
 archive? Please don't think just visually.
 > For example, imagine you're a screen reader user:
 > - you follow a link from some external site
 > - you land on one of these archive pages
 > - first thing you do: you try to get the `h1` of the page and what you
 get is...
 > "Audio".
 >
 > As I see it, as soon as theme authors will start using these new
 template tags, they will try to find a way to change that hardcoded stuff.
 > Please, please, consider to reopen :)



 I agree to 1000000%
