OK I’ll push it then.

Thanks for looking into this.  That hack really leaves the title on the
tabs completely blank!  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 am fine with this approach, but I’m not particularly fond about how it
looks in Firefox and Chromium...

Perhaps this would be simpler?

    (or (org-string-nw-p (org-export-data (plist-get info :title) info)) "&lrm;")

It is indeed valid according to the validator.
