Sort of. The text box is not necessarily centered, it may be the case that the
text box+title box together are centered.  Anchoring the title box to the main
content box would get us part of the way there. It may require grouping the two
boxes and centering the group; and also "persistent centering", or rather
anchoring the v-center of an object to a certain point on the slide. And - we
would need to make this feature easily usable, not usable through complex use
of groups and rulers and what-not.

It could possibly require changes to the ODF, but not something major.
Anchoring of shapes to each other already exists, might need a bit of expansion
for non-lines; and I'm pretty sure that's an independent request.
Persistent-centering or persistent-anchoring of a point is simple enough
property to add, ODF-wise.

There is no such thing as "common rules of slide structure"; and if there were
- you would be wrong, because it is not rare to see these kinds of slides.

> I don't like the layout and wouldn't use it myself.

I think it has a different aesthetic, and I might use it myself in some cases.
It feels less strict in a way.

> Manually moving the title to some other position is pretty simple.

It may be pretty simple, but that's irrelevant. That's a bit like saying that
manually creating a rectangular frame out of 4 line segments is pretty simple,
so we don't need rectangles.
