Comment (by joedolson):

 I feel like we're losing the post type context if we shift to just the
 post title. It's certainly possible a user could be editing multiple posts
 with the same title but of different types, and it would be nice to be
 able to convey that in the title.

 I think it benefits all users equally.

 As far as the title length goes and how it's represented in the browser,
 screen reader users will have the full title read if they choose to hear
 it, as they aren't constrained to the visible text; other users will get
 what they get. In common cases, like pages or posts, it won't be that many
 additional characters.

 In my personal browser use, it wouldn't make a difference either way...all
 I'm going to see is 'Edi'. :D

 The edit item string is part of the post type label array: See:
