RE: We may need greater clarity of when its a failure to omit title attribute from an iframe

Great article David. I agree we should discuss and tighten up. I see it as a failure of 1.1.1, 2.4.1 (for frame), and 4.1.2.

I've put up a bunch of tests with AT and browsers for the title on an iframe. I think we may want to discuss and tighten up some of H6 and maybe parts of the understanding doc. Especially in the case of ads and video players embedded in a web page.

In the article, the general consensus is that it is usually a failure to omit the title attribute from an iframe, but there is quite a bit of diversity from a11y professionals which is captured in the article.
