The problem is that shr.el is not as capable as a web browser so it's
hard to tell what spans are nested and how.  So you don't necessarily
know what you're pointing to.  This is actually a problem in regular web
browsers too--I use the Chrome and Firebug "inspect element" all the
time.

AS> How would you render the titles?

Instead of span1 span2 I'd render [title1: span1] [title2: span2] but
the actual visual is not too important.  It could be customizable as a
`format' HTML string for instance.
