A little of both.  8^)
Generally it is better practice to link to the container rather than the 
title element.  But people do create links to title elements, and the 
stylesheets do attempt to support xrefs to titles.  They should either 
support it completely, or flag an error, and not just do a half job. I would 
suggest you file a bug report on SourceForge to get it fixed for the next 
release.
