Not only that, but an addon can have different titles for different languages, and some authors include the version number in the title (though they really shouldn't do that). Nobody should ever use the Title field as a means of detecting particular addons. If you've seen some resource recommending this practice, or an addon doing it, please tell me what it is so I can go yell at its author.
