I created a workaround for this.  Creating a plugin called from the
header that parses template variables and evaluates those starting
with a '-'.  That would be:

  [% META browser_title = '-book.title' %]

The same thing but with some text around:

  [% META browser_title = '-"My ${book.title} page"' %]


Just a temporary solution.  I'll think TT3 will have solved this.
