 * Hi,
 * The plugin reports a REQUIRED when a `title` tag is used in the inline `svg` 
   element.
 *     ```
       <svg>
       <title>Title</title>
       </svg>
       ```
   
 * It will say: REQUIRED: The <title> tags can only contain a call to wp_title().
   Use the wp_title filter to modify the output

 * Hmm. Odd one there. Bit rare. I’ll think about workarounds.

 * The first step would probably be to limit the `title` check to only within the`
   head` element? No point in checking the whole document.
 * Rare might be but inline SVG is normal thing to do in todays world and yet because
   of this I cannot submit theme as it will be denied for invalid reason. Please
   fix this asap. 😉

 * No, checking the entire theme is necessary. Some people add title’s via action
   hooks into `wp_head`. WordPress 4.1 will have title-tag support, which I just
   added to theme-check yesterday: [https://github.com/Otto42/theme-check/commit/0063b3b4cf4b2c116b61f9de8ff9a5e95bf9d067](https://github.com/Otto42/theme-check/commit/0063b3b4cf4b2c116b61f9de8ff9a5e95bf9d067)

 * Oh yeah, true, forgot about the hook. Hmm, if I think of something I’ll post 
   it.
