Thanks for looking into this. That hack really leaves the title on the
tabs completely blank!
That was the idea.. If someone sets "#+TITLE:", they expect *no* title :)
I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s in line
with other exporters, so on that front it’s fine. I do wonder if it’s the
right thing to do. When the title is blank Firefox (and I assume other
browsers) show the path. With &lrm it’s completely blank.
I liked seeing that was possible.
Perhaps this would be simpler?
(or (org-string-nw-p (org-export-data (plist-get info :title) info)) "‎")
Of course. I thought I was missing out on something. Thanks.

It is indeed valid according to the validator.
Thanks for checking. The validator (the default one in org-html-postamble) never worked for me, probably because of something being blocked at work.. I get this when I click the validator link:
=====
Sorry! This document cannot be checked.
No Referer header found!
You have requested we check the referring page, but your browser did not send the HTTP "Referer" header field. This can be for several reasons, but most commonly it is because your browser does not know about this header, has been configured not to send one, transferred the referring document over a secure protocol such as https but is accessing the validator over ordinary non-secure http, or is behind a proxy or firewall that strips it out of the request before it reaches us.
This is not an error in the referring page!

Being able to set the title to blank is really cool. I have never needed to do that. But if someone (OP? OP's list email bounces back, so assuming they are subscribed to this ML) wants that, we now know how.
