The Update Center GUI needs to display a short title of each user image 
that is being managed through the tool.  Rather than maintaining an 
association of user images and titles outside of the images, we'd like 
to see IPS enhanced to enable tools and users to specify and modify an 
image title within each image.

Regardless of the tool in use (GUI, pkg CLI, etc.), users could display 
and modify the title associated with an image.

For example, GlassFish V3 is using IPS in support of its distros.  When 
the GF V3 distro is pre-installed at the factory, the GF V3 team could 
use the pkg CLI to set or modify the image's name to "GlassFish V3". 
Once the image is deployed to a user's system, the user could use GUI 
tools or the pkg CLI to modify the title of the image as he sees fit.

Supporting specification of an image title on the image-create command 
would only partially address this feature.  Users and tooling will also 
need to be able to modify the image title after image creation.
