Where do titles belong?


We have two levels of templates in the worldoutline.
There's a template for each type, one of blogpost, code, howto, outline, photo, river, rss, thumbList.
And there's an overall template for the page.
Right now we have the titles in the type template. But I'm wondering if that's the right way to go.
It seems every page has a title, and uniformity in the way they are displayed is a good thing. Also having them appear in just one place makes it easy to change them in all pages. Further, the crumbtrail is in the page template. What sense does it make to have the crumbtrail in one place and the title in the other?
I'm leaning toward making the change, and moving the title into the main template.
Since all templates are user-editable, it's possible to do it a different way from the way I do it. Even if that doesn't happen very often.
