Well, at least I try Jill, for me trying to make a site accessible I've found a good starting point is getting the code to validate first.

I guess only when more sites start getting hammered in the courts will validation and accessibility become more prevalent in the site code.

Till then I'm still happy to spend the extra time sending out sites that at least attempts to tick all the boxes.

I never once said it was falsification, my quote,as above states "not really falsyfing title tags" ok I really should have spelled it ’falsifying’ that’s more Joe’s grump than mine :)

@MajesticSEO granted sir you do speak a helluva lot of sense but even you highlighted that the  "user won’t click on potentially very relevant site." So, as Joe pinpointed, to an extreme, it is an agrressive behaviour towards CTR’s and making Bing seem more relevant to the serachers query.I, for one, am not unashamed that they are doing such a thing, but feel that their need to be "relevant" is undermining the webmaster’s own efforts in constructing the sites/page title tag. I’m not going to stand on any soap-box and downcry Bing because I really like it, as a search engine and not as a marketing gimmick of a ’discovery engine’. Microsoft have a pedigree of getting what they want when they turn their full attention to a subject and eventually we are seeing that in Bing’s appearance, through time they will follow-suit to a webmasters wishes and display the title tag in its original cached form ... until then, well, expect Bing to be as competitive as its creators brand name. Why you also felt the need to anchor my username to my profile is also a mystery, perhaps :)

Why can’t they just show the original Title Tag instead of showing a semantic anchor text driven title tag ... it’s cheeky in a kiddie toungue-in-cheek fashion but I can obviously see why webmasters will take the hump ... overall Bing has shown it means business, this is just another roll-up of their t-shirt sleeve to display how it intends to muscle in on the existing competition.

It looks as though its doing semantic relationship background work, not really falsyfing title tags just being clever in a friendly ’mobster’ sorta way - it’s the Teflon Don of search engines and I feel it’s territory warfare is just beginning.
