spieman.cls spoils document title

[Grief]

Input:

\documentclass[12pt]{spieman}

\title{Some title}

\begin{document} 
\maketitle
\end{document}

spieman.cls can be found here: https://github.com/I2Cvb/spie-jei-2015/blob/master/spieman.cls
Output:

<document xmlns="http://dlmf.nist.gov/LaTeXML">
  <resource class="ltx_align_left" src="LaTeXML.css" type="text/css"/>
  <resource class="ltx_align_left" src="ltx-article.css" type="text/css"/>
  <date class="ltx_align_left" role="creation"/>
  <pagination class="ltx_align_left" role="newpage"/>
  <para class="ltx_align_left ltx_noindent" xml:id="p1">
    <p><text font="bold" fontsize="160%">Some title</text></p>
  </para>
  <para class="ltx_noindent" xml:id="p2">
    <break class="ltx_align_left"/>
  </para>
  <para xml:id="p3">
    <break/>
  </para>
</document>

While I understand that the issue is can be more with the class-file itself, is it possible to workaround it somehow to leave <title>Some title</title> unchanged?

I assume this is with --includestyles, and it is because the class file (re)defines \title. I guess the safest thing here is to lock the definition (if a class file redefines it w/different argument pattern, it'll likely mess up anyway). So, hopefully fixed? Thanks for the report!

@brucemiller thank you very much! I've just tested - results are perfect. I really appreciate that you consider to fix such corner cases like this one.
