Looks like this is also used in MacOS.

Hmm. I think we have two "Title"s here.

1. For XPCOM, there's xpcAccessibleDocument::Title. However, that is only supported for local documents (DocAccessible). For remote documents, it will return NS_ERROR_FAILURE. I don't think we really need to support this at all, so we could just drop this method in future. Right now, though, I don't think we need to do anything; it's only used in one test.
2. The real concern here is Mac. RemoteAccessible::Title isn't referring to document title, but seems to have something to do with headings and flattening their text content. I don't quite understand what this is for. Why isn't Name enough?

The message wasn't doing anything useful on Mac. Took the opportunity to
correcty expose the AXTitle/AXDescription of headings.
