Setting a default title for bookmarks on the home screen of iOS devices?

Question

when setting a default image for bookmarks on the home screen for iOS devices using

<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="bla.png"/>

the title of the bookmark is always a chunked part of the web app's title. Is there any chance to set a default title which is automatically presented in the "add to home screen" dialog?

Thanks

Matt

This would make sense, can't see why this would not exist. – Martin Feb 07 '13 at 00:42 — Martin, Feb 07 '13 at 00:42

This works, but only for iOS 6 and above. – davidjb Feb 08 '13 at 01:38

The title is automatically set from the title in the head section.
