RE: Propose removing one HTML techniques for 2.4.5

How about removing "meaningful" or change it to "natural language"  but keep
the technique (unless you already have one for a name on a frame).

I didn't see discussion of this in the minutes from the February 14, teamb
call.  I propose that we remove the following technique from 2.4.5 since I
don't think it is testable.   

Providing
<http://trace.wisc.edu/wcag_wiki/index.php?title=Providing_a_meaningful_name
_to_identify_frames>  a meaningful name to identify frames. [2]. This
technique talks about adding a name attribute to frames for technologies
which do not support the title attribute.  Is this really an issue? Are
there assistive technologies which do not support title on frame and if so,
do they even support the name attribute?
