Thanks for bringing up this topic!

Additions: :)

<download_url></download_url> - If the title pack is not uploaded to store yet, Maniaplanet checks new version from this source.
<title_version></title_version> - Allows more control in how the title pack is being updated. Same versions in two packs won't update to the newer pack in terms of time. This being empty is very mostly fine.
<player_model></player_model> - I think that applies to Trackmania car item models as well
<station_manialink url=""/> - Manialink for the very front of the title (can be pure XML manialink data or script using context CManiaAppStation) - the place where you have the Enter button, the tabs, players within 24 hours, medal progress etc.
<manialink url=""/> - Manialink to use as a title pack menu (can be pure XML manialink data or script using context CManiaAppTitle)
<mod name=""/> - Default mod to use when creating a new map

<score_context> - A score type that's separated from other score types. Thanks to this, one map can store multiple types of scores on the user's account. The term score can be driven time for example. This tag group can be used multiple times.
<name> - Name that can assign score context to campaign for example
<maprecord_type> - How records will be sorted:
  • -1: Unknown (I guess), perhaps from oldest to newest?
  • 0: Ascending score
  • 1: Descending score
  • 2: Time
  • 3: Respawn count
<medals_enabled> - If to count medals for this context
<author_medals_enabled> - Allow or disallow author medals (used in Platform gamemode for example)
<skillpoints_enabled> - If to count skillpoints for this context

<campaign num="0"> - Num is unique ID, multiple campaigns are also supported, and they can use the same map!
<mode name=""/> - What gamemode is used for this campaign
<score_context> - What score context should campaign use
<official_record_enabled> - If to save driven records online. Neat one, you should always enable!
<maps folder="Campaigns\"/> - What campaign folder to use (if you want difficulties, White Green Blue Red Black, those should be separated into folders there, folder names 0 1 2 3 4 works fine to me)

<file name="" public="false" internal="false"/> - Public makes the file visible outside downloaded package (whats this magic Nadeo actually), usable for station manialinks; internal hides the file in browsers, good for scripts but not for images.

If anyone has simpler explanations, feel free. :D
Apologies for not using code tags but I think this way it's better readable.
