566031 - Switch "name" to be the default for tabs (to match windows and the world)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

In bug 520514 comment 0, I suggested that we might want to switch the exposed property for tab titles from our (and OW's) "title" to the standard "name".  Today Ilya pointed me to some bizarre gymnastics Adium is doing (backwards!) to try and support getting tab titles: http://trac.adium.im/ticket/13559

For 2.1, we should go ahead and make the switch to make "name" be the property exposed in the dictionary, so that we match what's exposed for windows and the rest of the world.

Also, "title" works for browser windows, but not for windows, even though it compiles for windows in Script Editor.  (I have no clue where it's coming from for browser windows, though; it's not defined for browser window itself, and it's certainly not inheriting it from window!) 

I think we can make "title" work for plain-old windows by adding a hidden property to the Core Suite's window class, which would make us consistent across the board: exposed "name" for window, browser window (which inherits from window), and tab, and hidden "title" for all three, too.

So, "title" is coming in all the way up at 'application' (i.e., "title of application" compiles, where it shouldn't); I think it's just a bug all-around (and an accident that it works at all for browser windows), and we shouldn't try to fake-support it in 'window'.  

I still have no idea *where* it's entering our dictionary from, though.

Attachment: Switches name to be the exposed property for tabs, and title to be the hidden property

The old patches police raided my tree today.

This just switches "name" to be the exposed property, just like the rest of the world (except OmniWeb) uses, and moves our non-standard "title" to be hidden, so that people looking at the dictionary won't use it any more.
