Neither is supposed to have this function; the noframes section is supposed to have the function! The use of frame names is a work around for blank no frames and "you need to 'upgrade' your browser" no frames first used by Lynx, but then adopted by Amaya, at least. It is only marginally successful because the pages that need it tend to name frames left, top or centre, rather than indicating their function. The use of title is just the obvious generalisation of title to frame elements. I would reckon the chances of finding title on a page that doesn't already have a useful noframes element are negligible.
