This last bit was a bit confusing. I believe that only if the title tag
<title>key phrase, key phrase, maybe short company name</title> is empty
that the bots will look into the page body for something useful to
display in search results and as a bookmark. I've never checked, but it
may even look at meta description first before cruising body content
such as h1, h2, etc.
