Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 dmsnell]:
 > @westonruter we made a breaking change in this behavior in order to
 avoid mistakes dealing with the fact that no HTML exists inside the
 `TITLE`.
 >
 > you can now treat `TITLE` and the other special tags as if they were
 void or self-closing. to get the contents, call
 `$processor->get_modifiable_text()` while matched on a `TITLE` tag.
 >
 > you will also still visit closing `TITLE` tags if they appear
 unexpectedly, as in `<div>This is not a div closer</title>`

 OK, thanks. Please let me know if this change aligns with the changes in
