Do you mean that the Attribute: Item Title should be able to derive it's value from the value of one or more other Attributes?
It already does, the "Title Attribute" value is at the moment the value of the "Item Title" (apart from Contact template where combined attribute values are used), so I don't see any problem. This would at the same time solve another problem, where people often want to use date for "Title attribute" but are forced to use string valued "Item Title" and this value is duplicated somewhere among item's attributes.

eventually, yes
But for the moment, technically speaking, "Title attribute" is not among the regular attributes (but they call it an attribute in their help file, and is present among Template attributes), so maybe there is some programming reason why this cannot be extended to regular attributes. Maybe Kinook can provide more insight?

Possibilities are endless, limited only by our grey matter
