You are right. The example, in a way, over-simplifies the issues.

Yeah. Title as "simple king". Point being to start with what is indexed
already, not what fields do I need add.
For SOME purposes it makes most sense to treat the title as the index and
present another field as the visible title ("caption" as my first choice).
A good example is novels where you have a simple structure. It is actually
easier to have "title" as v01ch49pa17 (=volumn 1, chapter 49, pqragraph 17)
than do it through another field. The user never needs to see the titel
anyway. You'd likely use a macro to present only a chapter at a time,
headed by a caption from the first item. Seems logical?
So. I'm, on titles just talking about a minimalist approach to certain
types of (quite common) situations. This is not really news :-).
Text field in general is anothet issue. A dopo.
Best wishes
