Title is obtained from the <title> in your page. Description is pulled from
<meta description> (can't recall the syntax). If these are not available,
there will be some guesswork. Can you give examples of what you are seeing?
There was recently a bug that had some on-page content appended to page
titles in one of my sites, but it seems to have been resolves. And I don't
use XML sitemaps, FWIW...
