This is generally a final step for finishing or outputting, so it shouldn't have to be an issue for someone later. Also, since I always name my title media descriptively, someone else will see "title black for slug" in the name of the clip, and be able to figure out what it is there for.
(which is better than one frame of a shot at the end of the sequence just to create a place holder, from a reel that wasn't delivered with the project...)

Subject: [Avid-L2]Adding title black on exports, was Re: Green frames in DVDSP
Boy in this day and age the render of a black title is virtually insignificant compared to the grief the next guy who inherits the sequence gets trying to figure out what was going on since they can no longer recreate the title black they have to figure out what you did. Just like throwing a sapphire or BCC effect on a title the next guy in online gets hosed unless you slug in the actual title under the effect. Why would you export a long GOP codec to make a DVD? I'm not much of a DVD burner so I'm not up on the intricacies. For an SD DVD I recently read there no point in exporting anything better than DV25. HD is another matter. What would be a common export codec to make a blue ray or other HD DVD?

When DVD authoring, this usually gives you a little pad where you can place a start locator, since in DVD authoring, you can only start at the first frame of a GOP.
