Comment (by Joen):

 I should've added that my (semi-strong) preference was also to keep the
 post title-less, and the slug unmodified.

 I'm not sure that showing an excerpt in absence of a title is going to be
 a good solution, though; it will create a different rhythm in the list
 with visual rivers. And from Dave's post, it simply mentions the title. I
 think the expectation from web-apps of today (think Docs, etc) is that
 items have titles that you can customise if you want to. In that sense,
 I'd think whatever we show should use the same visual area of the list.
 Your point about making it clear it's a title-less post is well made,
 though. Let me attach some experiments.
