  I'm not sure what correct is either in this case, but 
I can describe a scenario that I currently have that I 
am not pleased with.  

  I use a pagelist to include a series of photo pages.
On each photo page I define a title using (:title:).
I also have a #description section on each photo page 
in which I put {$Title} as a default description 
which will be replaced in some cases with a lengthier 
description.

  When any of these photo pages is viewed individually,
the "right" thing occurs.  If there is no description,
the description section displays the title of the page.

  But, when viewed in the pagelist page.  The 
description in each photo page that does not have a 
real description (and therefore simply contains 
{$Title}), displays the last title processed.  This 
is obviously not what I want.

  I'm not sure how to solve this, I am sure there are 
several ways.  I have not experimented yet with the
new pagelist code, but maybe all that is needed is for 
me to use {=$Title} instead of {$Title} in each of my
description sections.  Will the {=$Title} get 
propagated inside of included pages in a pagelist 
template (it didn't with my recipe)?

  If this works, it would solve the problem when 
photo pages are included from pagelists, but it would 
not solve it if they were manually included from other
pages.  Maybe the suggested absolute "this page" syntax
would be the right solution, something like {@$Title}?

  Lastly, as someone else already did, to correct the 
pagelist page's title, putting the (:title:) directive 
at the end of the page is a currently a work around,
