We had this LENGTHY discussion here ages ago https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/929 I agree not all iframes need an accessible name/title, when they behave like they're part of the host page and are not acting as a distinct self-contained document or control/complex widget in its own right. There's been various discussions like https://twitter.com/stevefaulkner/status/1257605397705359363 as well. And situations like these, where buttons are wrapped in individual iframes (for ease of deployment), but being forced to add an accessible name/title to them leads to horribly verbose and unnecessary AT output https://github.com/mdo/github-buttons/pull/148 Long story short: I'd be in favour of making it clear that iframes do NOT necessarily NEED to have a title/accname.
