Following is from the spec:

User agents should use the document's title when referring to the document in their user interface. When the contents of a title element are used in this way, the directionality of that title element should be used to set the directionality of the document's title in the user interface.

In addition, http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#text-rendered-in-native-user-interfaces  requires text from elements generally to be rendered in native user interfaces in a manner that honors the directionality of the element from which the text was obtained, mentioning dialogs, title bars, pop-up menus, and tooltips as particular examples.
