I would suggest that this behaviour become the default, BUT you add a 
command line option to invoke the present behaviour.

So:

- with <meta generator="pandoc">, process <h1 class="title"> as metadata
- with --title-metadata (or similar), process <h1 class="title"> as metadata
- otherwise process <h1 class="title"> as a header

But I want to get a complete ODT document as output. Don't I need to use 
--standalone? If I do then this fix would do nothing for me.

Preprocessing the input with a mere search and replace, changing 
class="title" to class="meow", is a simple approach that works. But it is a 
mandatory extra step.
