In that case the title is part of the citation/reference. It is not the title of the book/document itself.

To me it seems they are trying to make HTML more semantic, but they do it only partially and not consistent. Anyway, I don't want to be depending on a renderer to decide who things must look as this is not defined in the standard. If they would specify the standard rendering of a semantic tag, it could be easily used and overruled. It is almost impossible to prevent every possible layout that a renderer could apply to a tag as their standard.
