The current guidance includes references to "actual" or "proper" titles for live bootleg recordings, and gives different sets of instructions to follow depending on whether a bootleg has such a title or not.
Based on the discussion here, there seems to be little to no agreement on what these words mean in this context (e.g. is having a proper title a stronger property than simply having a title?). There also seems to be a general preference for overhauling the guidance in such a way that the titles in the format "YYYY-MM-DD: Venue, City, State/Province, Country" are used much less often (at least in the title field on MB), and appropriate text on physical packaging or the hosting webpage preferred.
I have not provided draft documentation since I do not have a strong opinion on how strict the criteria for using titles in the standardised format should be; however, I do think that the guidance as it is now is not clear.
