I'd say you are SOOL. "User agents do not generally *render* elements that appear in the HEAD as content. They may, however, make information in the HEAD available to users through *other mechanisms*." (Emphasis added) This part appears to me to say that the user agent doesn't have to use any mark up you specify for the title, so you can't rely on the way any particular browser will handle things like <h3><title>..<title><h3>: : "Titles may contain character entities (for accented characters, special characters, etc.), but may not contain other markup (including comments)" This part appears say quite conclusively that you CANNOT specify the font size or any other attributes of the Title.
