This is to propose that the Drupal standard of using the node title to ask "are you sure" questions be changed.
An example might best explain what I'm asking... when deleting a node, Drupal goes to another page to ask...
Are you sure you want to delete my-long-node-title-that-makes-the-page-look-very-ugly?
I haven't seen many "real-world" themes where using the title to ask questions makes the page anything but UGLY!
I'm working on a client's site, which is a site that helps young children learn to read. As such, everything on the site (including the title) is overly-big. When the title is used as a question, it appears to be SHOUTED! And my own personal site has the title in a nice (confined) "box" with a border. When an "are you sure" page is displayed, the title always overruns the border and (again) looks quite ugly.
IMHO, the title should simply state the function being performed (Delete, or whatever) and the "are you sure" question should be asked below it in a more normal sized font - or at least with separate CSS tags so it can be styled different than the node title. I'm using Drupal-6, but on the assumption that this has not yet been addressed in D7, I'm posting it as a D7 issue (since the chance of it being addressed in D6 is virtually nil).
And, if this becomes the new "Drupal Way", it should also be adopted by contributed modules as well.
