though I'm in the opposite camp as tye on the question of what should go in parentheses and where.

On the first part, my node documented my approval for new or old title in parens (depending on whether the new title is a major shift in subject or just a minor annotation) so I guess this means that your position is neither new nor old title in parens. "and where"? So I guess you want the parens at the front of the title? That was widely frowned upon in the past and I agree (in hindsight).

But I actually guess that neither of the above guesses is correct.
