I may be wrong here as this involved a subobject of an object, however,
I suggest you try simply:

<!--#in docs-->
<p><!-- #var title--></p>
<!--#/in-->

The namespace inside #in changes to that of sequence-item. This is
documented in the Zope DTML User's guide (page 11, name lookup, I
suspect), but (hint) an "idiot's guide to DTML name lookup" would be
useful. I myself found out about this through experimentation. :)
