How can I pass $title a node variable to html.tpl.php? I'm looking to use the variable $title in my html.tpl.php file. How can I do this?

I would like to just write a bit of php like so: 

&lt;?php print $title ?&gt;


So is a preprocess function needed? TPLNAME_preprocess_html() { ??? something like that? 

I would like to reference this question here which got me thinking, what is the proper way?

Helpful Question That I Saw
// template.php
function THEMENAME_preprocess_html(&amp;$vars) {
  $vars['title'] = 'my title';
}

// html.tpl.php
echo $title;
