It is indeed great to have something authoritative to show clients tho i fear its a little loose with the explinations and misses the mark on many points which ive documented on my blog ( http://www.markrushworth.com/template_permalink.asp?id=268 )

One thing I wouldn't agree with you is to start the title with the brand name. It's just really inconvenient. Imagine adding a couple of pages to the bookmarks: if these title would get shortened, all you would see is the brand name. While the first example (home page) starts with the brand name, the second doesn't. I think the brand should follow the page name and not the other way around.

It's a good thing Google has finally released a manual for SEO newbies who would like to be recognized online.
