The "remove tags from title" rule in Magic Editor is overzealous

I had a question the following title:

communication between JS, PHP and MySQL

Communication between JavaScript,

I think it should only remove tags from titles if they are in the beginning, not somewhere in the middle or at the end.

Another example:

Pass js values to php

was changed to:

Pass JavaScript values to

Tags in the middle are left alone. Those at the beginning and end are removed, within limitations. In the example cited, "JS" was not a tag to start with, but was changed by a later rule. Good time for the human to step in.

This is consistent with:
