Yes, supering a title is, in effect, a registration test of sorts. For an 
official registration test with a chart (the best chart is a grid of white lines 
on a black background), the ACL won't film in reverse, so you'd rewind the 
film in a darkroom (or black bag) and then do the second expsure. (I imagine that 
filming in reverse on a camera capable of such wouldn't be as valid a test 
anyway). M.
