I imagine two things: a lookup hash and a template.
-Since `IkiWiki::titlepage` basically translates characters, it would be cool to be able to define a lookup hash in the configuration, which would be consulted before falling back to the generic `__xx__` `ord()` representation of a letter. For instance, in German, I might prefer to have 'Ã\83¤' become 'ae' instead of something illegible.

Second, maybe a template could be honoured. The template could have a slot `%s` where the calculated title goes, and it could contain `strftime` symbols as well as variables, which get interpolated on use.

I don't think that changing titlepage is a good idea, there are
compatability problems.
confuse the user. The title could be passed on in a hidden field, and
prepended to the page when it's saved..
