How to remove the app name from a Windows Store App tile?

Question

My tile already contains the title of my application. How can I set the title of the tile to nothing? When I just put a space or nothing in the DisplayName (Appmanifest) I get the following error:

App manifest validation failed. Value of attribute '/Package/Applications/Application/VisualElements/@DisplayName' cannot start or end with whitespace.

(The guidelines say it is possible: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465403.aspx#using_default_tiles)
