Is it easily possible to have a property from view model rendered as a
title?
I tried
<head>
...
<title bind-data="viewModel.pageTitle()"></title>
...
</head>
I never see anything in the header change whatsoever... but if I set a
breakpoit on say a button click... I can evaluate pageTitle and see
what is expected.
Is there any trick? I made the title the very last element in the head
( so as to hopefully load AFTER the js initializations etc.

If you don't specify a DOM object in the ko.applyBindings call it
defaults to using document.body, therefore any bindings on title
wouldn't be evaluated in this scenario as it isn't a child of body.
You could try ko.applyBindings(viewModel, window.document) instead?

First of all... let me start off by apologizing...
My first post I wrote after about 3 days with grand total of about 5hr
sleep total. I did have data-bind... but was so out of it, there was
no chance of success =). I managed to get this to work, by assigning
document.title in an observable.
I'll give the bindings a try... I definitely like that solution
better. Is there any negative connotations for applying the bindings
that high up?

Well, when you call applyBindings, it traverses all the children of
whatever element you specify (or body if you don't) looking for data-
bind attributes so using window.document means it has more elements to
parse.
Potentially the initial bindings phase might take a little longer to
execute (probably not noticibly), but after that it shouldn't have any
effect.
