Well not Commemorating per say. The word escapes me at the moment.

But like permanently acknowledge a significant in game event. I know this has been done a few times but personally i would love to see it more.

I think it would add an some great depth to the game to well, lets use B-R as a recent example.

To one day down the line years from now to of taken up B-R as my new home and in space see a beacon for "Titan graveyard" (like is being suggested a lot at the moment)

and warp to that beacon and be surrounded by titan ship wrecks with a story about the battle and maybe links to player made content about said battle. With the typical amount of player made content after the fact. With write-ups, in-game pictures and videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCK-E5AopVI

It would be minimum work (short of designing the in-game beacon/site) and personally think it would add a lot to tell the story of the players of the universe, I mean really the players just about supply all the content for it already =)

I see a lot whenever there is a massive battle reported about all over, with people commenting on how they've never played EvE but absolutely love reading about it.

I know personally i've spent a few nights looking up old youtube videos of war histories and major battles like the first Drone Lands war. But for most of this stuff you can only find it by looking out of game specifically for it. I couldn't lets say be living in the drone regions and come across an ancient home system that would tell me about the epic first war fought here and the drama and determination that ensued (obligatory link to video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt82_9FpbLY

I think you missed the Dev-Blog posted on the 29th. Read onwards from the header 'TITANOMACHY: COMMEMORATING THE FIGHT', abou 1/3th down.
On top of that, as you can read in the latest Patch Notes, it is already implemented as per today.
