Description
It can be useful to reuse the title of the document (the string found in the <title> element of an HTML document) in ::before or ::after. An easily recognizable example is running headers and footers, but that's limited to actually paged media, and it would be nice to achieve a similar effect in general.
A possible solution for this would be exposing it via env(doc-title).

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed env(doc-title) value and how document titles could be exposed to ::before and ::after content, including the HTML <title> element. Done would require a resolved CSS Working Group design for accessing the title, with the behavior defined for relevant media and content-generation cases.
